[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646892, member: 1550"] Both of her kids are on the autism spectrum. I'm a bit sensitive about that because the wiring in their brains are different and they have extra challenges and often need help even as adults. My son who is 21 has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and it's not the same for her son as if he were a typical young adult just misbehaving...at least it very well may not be. They all have neurological differences and we can't guess why they do what they do. It can seem like willfully "bad" behavior and very possibly be due to the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Even bright ASDers often struggle to keep up with school. Socializing is a major issue...they can't read body language and can be very inappropriate and often need text book teaching about how to socially appropriately to help them get that step ahead, and kids who struggle socially in high school usually have more problems doing school right. Autism is a neurological difference. It impacts the way they think, what t hey do, and every aspect of life, yet many live good lives...but they need interventions to learn how to navigate a world that they don't understand. Stress is a part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Not saying this is the case here, but certainly the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has SOMETHING to do with it. Just...you know...I have a kid on the spectrum and things come harder to him, even though he is not unintelligent. Therapy could nail it down better. Again, please be patient with me. I have a kid on the spectrum and I am sensitive to spectrum children AND adults ;) [/QUOTE]
