[QUOTE="buddy, post: 580228, member: 12886"] Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are very black and white. Boys don't get girlie Valentines. Period. He wasn't trying to be rude, just fix what he perceived as so wrong. If no one understands how wrong that is....and he's unable to explain it so they do?.....what's left but to fall apart? This is why appropriate diagnosis are so important. By the time they're accurately diagnosis'd, they've been told they're wrong and rude and naughty without the gentle direct(specific step by step) teaching needed to learn each and every social rule. They do not learn through the reactions of others nor through doing what they do if it makes no sense to them. Punishment, sorry to say, will not teach him the underlying flexibility and social rules. But you are learning too and it's a whole new way to think. At home you can control it because he wouldn't have the social challenges he faces, plus we as parents naturally ....without even realizing it, set up our world in ways that work. You don't need a diagnosis to know he is struggling and so why not learn about social stories and other methods to help him be successful. There are some nice books and web sites! It won't feel like it now, but this is good news because there are so many options! [/QUOTE]
