[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 489707, member: 1550"] I just got in town and did not read the other responses so forgive me if I am repetitious. I was told that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids don't understand that everyone is not equal...that parents are not the same as they are...so that they get into trouble with authority figures. I don't think this is true of all Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, but I do think it's true of many. Also, they are very literal. If you say "I am n Occupational Therapist (OT) your mommy anymore" he could take it seriously and not get your point as to not doing things for him. He may actually think you are no longer mother and son. I don't think you can expect Son to get things out of context like "typical" children. Their tendency is to not understand social norms and to need special types of parenting. I always used to say my son just didn't "get it" no matter what "it" was. He has gotten much better as he has matured, but he is still very naive. [/QUOTE]
