[QUOTE="Malika, post: 636334, member: 11227"] Hello Plexicos. Welcome to a place where people "get it" even if they are not able to magically diagnose sight unseense over the internet (of course)... I really don't know much about autism and Asperger's. All I can tell you is that my son almost certainly doesn't have either and he sounds rather similar to your girlfriend's son. My son keeps repeating things over and over, no matter what consequences are in place - particularly stealing, which has begun to get worrying. He regularly steals from my purse so now I have to systematically hide it. Most of the time he doesn't even seem guilty or worried when I catch him with it (how many times have I not?) and just protests mildly when I take it back. He steals money from other people and places too, and then he will lie about it - ridiculous, transparent lies, as you say. He definitely knows stealing is "wrong". My son has often been quite aggressive and bossy to other children. I honestly don't know what's what. My son is adopted, which your girlfriend's son isn't, so there are also attachment/anger issues in addition to the diagnosed ADHD. [/QUOTE]
