[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 487816, member: 8045"] Midwest.....what makes this so difficult is again the fact that from the outside he looks fine and as if he is enjoying things and then out of the blue comes the irritibility and when prompted the crying and admitting that he is really feeling terrible! When you read literature on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) they say that these kids dont like new adventures and find change in routine difficult....the picture this brings to mind is the child going into meltdown, crying exct.....but with the high functioning ones if I'm observing correctly it's just becoming so irritable, board, annoying, rude, clingy, attention seeking and obsessive (I noticed my son doesn't want to step on the small carpets in the holiday house)....he also started chewing his shirts again!!!! But all this is seldom documented in literature.....? And this is what makes identifying this as being part of the illness so difficult!And also trying to explain to outsiders that this is not just normal old rudeness and manipulation! [/QUOTE]
