[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 549639, member: 7664"] His negative affect may be depression or anxiety based because he is not understood and therefore going overtime to figure out the 'rules'. Because my son is verbal, people very easily mistake his behavior as intentional, but when he gets a negative response over and over and over and still isn't able to 'see' or change his behavior to be more socially appropriate, it becomes a bit more obvious that if he were not on the spectrum his behavior would be foolish/irrational/and not self-serving. When you say he is manipulative- does he get what he wants? Is he able to manipulate you? If the answer is 'no, he doesn't get away with it'. Then he isn't manipulating, he is very awkwardly (very Aspily) trying to figure out how to get his needs met (to him wants probably don't feel different than needs). [/QUOTE]
