[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 509728, member: 11001"] I have taught many kids with varing degrees of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). And yes they come off as quite rude (this is something most of them have in common in my experience) until you understand that they just don't read social cues and they pick up the sensational things that often come at them from other kids who do not understand. It's the old negative feedback loop-they say or do something that others find horrid and they often get horrid reactions. I don't find that there is "bad" intent inherit in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The trick is coming out of the loop. As others have said, labeling the behavior and teaching what to do instead over and over usually works-takes longer for ingrained behaviors. As for mother in law, she will also need your support when you are ready. I am not the mother of one of these children, but I know it is a tough road to haul by coming to this board and watching the parents of my students over the many years. Take care of yourself so you can take care of your family. It's very hard work parenting our difficult children. (And on a lighter note, if I were to run away-no way I'm taking my kids with me!)
