[QUOTE="Steely, post: 45077, member: 3301"] Hi, Although I would be worried as well, I would not jump to the conclusion that these statements would manifest themselves later into self mutilating behaviors. My son did a lot of that at that age, and although they were signs of mental instability, at age 16 he still has not become a cutter. I agree with Marquette - I would guess this is your son's way of releasing his angst and inner turmoil and it would be helpful to give him some more positive venues for that. Have you read Temple Grandin's book? Amazing book, and well worth the read to have insight into the mind of those who suffer from not only AS, but any other mental affliction. Try not to worry! What our kids say at 7 is not necessarily indicative of the future to come! [/QUOTE]
