[QUOTE="buddy, post: 523710, member: 12886"] Our kids do continue to grow and mature but at a different and uneven (in the different developmental areas) rates. He likely is little by little being able to puzzle thru what people mean with different inflection and facial expressions etc. He has probably learned more about those he has more practice with like family. But newer people, he goes back to not really knowing what the heck those tones and expressions fully mean. Another layer is that our kids have to work so hard on so many things, he may be too busy in that kind of setting keeping it together with all of the other challenges to really process through what another person is feeling. I believe, with all my heart, that the reaction is not in any way that they dont care what we think. It is that it doesn't register and/or they can't really figure out how to deal with it. BUT when they DO??? it is intensely felt. Kind of like long ago when they felt kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) were not even bonded and didn't care about loving even their mothers. Clearly kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are more bonded to their families like any other kid. You can see it in the least verbal, most stereo-typic autistic child. Mom and Dad are the ones they can be comforted by the most. Just some thoughts....Lots of things going on but I bet he IS learning it... just will be uneven and depending on the settings will vary.
