[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 441872"] Kids can make eye contact. They can understand some abstract ideas/thoughts depending on where they are on the spectrum. They are more easily frustrated and if we don't know what is frustrating or confusing to them, it can seem as if they "switch". There are so many variables, not much is set in stone, that I wouldn't be so quick to write Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) off. It sounds very plausible given the information you have shared so far. Definitely continue with evaluations. In the mean time, try to "dig" for the why's of his behavior. Gentle questioning may get you answers. If you know the why, you will be better able to deal with it in a positive way. I can give you examples from my experience if you'd like. I have gotten quite good at it, if I do say so myself. It turns out a lot of the behavior difficult child displays requires teaching and not punishment. It's a learning process for all of us. [/QUOTE]
