Where can I ask questions about autism

Post Reply New Topic

Another thing is kids with autism often don't get boundaries. Most guys if they saw you talking to a girl would know better than to butt in. But he likely doesn't get stuff like that.

Lots of times people with autism, especially kids, don't get how they appear to others. And people with autism, again especially kids, can be very self absorbed. Like thinks about himself and what he wants, rather than taking the other person into consideration. And not able to put himself in the other person's place.

Well the kid needs to learn about interrupting. I used to butt in other conversations when I was a kid so I can see why everyone thought I had ADD and then ADHD and then my mom knew I had more going on because treatment I was getting for it wasn't working. But yeah when two people are talking, it's rude to butt in period. If you want to join in, just stand and sit there and wait for them to notice you and if they never say a word to you, you say nothing to them unless there is some emergency or someone is looking for them, then go "Excuse me "Jane Doe" wants you." But someone needs to teach that kid that social rule.

But honestly even NTs butt into conversations and there is a social rule about it and I don't even know so I say don't butt into any topics. Unless those NTs are being rude too.

Well yeah of course he needs to learn not to butt in and to give stuff back. Just helps I think to know why it happened in the first place.

Thanks guys I have learned alot from ya'll
I learned when I took my right boot off and said take it, in his eyes i gave it to him I have since learned I was the frist person out side his famialy to give him anything.
You know I've also learned even the adults around don't have a clue in a lot of cases

Is it part of the autism to be possessive about your belongings.
The teacher walked by and picked his cap it was on his desk, he looked at her and screamed thats mine you can't have that she handed it back and told him i know you just can not have it on the deak during a test put it under your desk he was ok with that but did not want her to touch his hat it scared her I think.
I guess i should say he is like 6ft tall and stocky (he is definitely a big ol Country Boy)

He does have alot of rules I don't mean this bad in anyway and don,t know any other way to say it but I find he is more a regular kids than a autistic kid

First I didn't mean any offense I really don't know how to explain it I guess I had a preconceived notion of him after the first day and I'm finding everything I thought was wrong I guess it was like my way of admitting that I was kind of being judgemental.
And I have no idea why he's keeping one boot

It is human nature to revise opinions after learning new information.

Some people on here refer to NT's what is that

NeuroTypical. It is a slightly insulting description of non-autistic individuals. The kinder term used in research studies is Typically Developed (TD).

Ok I know i ask alot of questions sorry but is it normal for him to hide his possession the reason i ask he coming home with me to ride horses but and ask if i had a place he could hide his things so no one can get them or is this a problem at his home

Hmm. That one seems to be related to obsessive compulsions. I doubt it is specific to a certain individual. It might stem from his not wanting others to upset or damage his things. Some autists enjoy lining up objects or stacking books based on size, shape and color. If he sees his things changed or misplaced, he might feel his privacy wasn't respected.

I did he just looks down and won't answer, i talk to him and try to find out things but he closes down thats why I ask on here not because i don't talk to him I just want to understand
