[QUOTE="keista, post: 432916, member: 11965"] I stand corrected. First, by MidwestMom's take on the situation. As I was reading it, yeah, the bells were going off reminding me that what looks like one type of behavior (in this case, social manipulation) through the filter of autism is the child seeking a desirable behavior, and that it only "looks" like the first thing. I've had no frame of reference to this specific type of behavior so I didn't see it. Sorry. Your second post most certainly describes a child on the Autism Spectrum. Going by MidwestMom's perspective of the rock throwing, maybe it's not so much throwing rocks, but the noise they make hitting the door. Maybe set up a "target practice" where he can safely throw rocks at stuff (old doors, trash cans, etc), make different noises, and work on gross motor skils at the same time (at 15 my son still "throws like a girl") I've had much success redirecting "bad" behaviors like this once I figured out what son's true motivation was. I've had failures, too, but more successes. And your signature is now coming through. [/QUOTE]
