[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 530770, member: 7664"] Manipulative means you are being taken advantage of and don't realize it. Kids on the spectrum are anything but manipulative-they aren't capable of the 'poker face' and level of deception necessary to actually manipulate us. He is being very up-front by telling you exactly what he is going to do if he doesn't get what he wants. This is a skill deficit in negotiating, perspective-taking, etc. His agenda, his rules, his perception, his rigidity was challenged numerous times (not saying the challenges weren't valid) and he doesn't have the coping skills. Although, I believe him when he said the video games would calm him down (as it would have done for my difficult child). And believe me, when I type this, I am also empathizing with you because my difficult child is also exhausting in a somewhat similar way and we question our ability to meet all his needs at home in the worst of moments. Hope you find answers at your appointment tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
