[QUOTE="keista, post: 523709, member: 11965"] Just like everything else in life, emotional responses are not stagnant. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do learn apropriate and different responses. they also have their own frustration threasholds. As an example, haven't you ever dropped something, smiled and picked it up. Then dropped it again and again. Finally yelled out that if you dropped it again you would scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? If someone witnessed the whole process it would make sense, but if someone came upon you on the last drop, they'd say you are overreacting. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is similar in the fact that we don't know their original thought process, but it most definitely can change over time. by the way I was going over a social situation with DD1 during the time she was getting diagnosed with Asperger's. She couldn't understand why I thought she was being rude, and I made her "take the other person's place". She very assertively stated that she does NOT respond the same way as everyone else does. At the time I was not aware of how correct she truly was! [/QUOTE]
