[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 271776, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to the board. My son is on the spectrum and is close to Aspie level. He does show remorse, however many Aspies are VERY stoic. That doesn't mean they don't feel bad--they just don't know how to appropriately show it or verbalize it. I would consider his ODD behavior part of the Aspergers. On this board, the vast majority of us feel that ODD is sort of a useless diagnosis. It almost NEVER stands alone and is part and parcel of another, bigger diagnosis. All it means is "defiance." Duh! We know our kids are wired differently and can be defiant. Is he getting any interventions in school? Any therapy? A lot of Aspies don't do that well in therapy because they don't "connect" well to people, including therapists, and that makes it hard. It's best to find somebody who understands Aspergers, mild or not. Even mild Aspergers can really impair a person. [/QUOTE]
