Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Why not? There is not really a universal " typical " behavior for autism. There are some stereo-typical ones and plenty of assumptions, but when it comes to autism, the only thing that is typical (in my experience) is its uniqueness per each child. autism behavior? > would a verbal child with autism/aspergers know how to mock other kids. > kinds like the " nana booboo you cant catch me!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 My son has very little understanding of compassion. He picks on other children and doesn't seem to get how hurtful he can be. Social skills training has been helpful but it still is a problem. I have consequences in place for this but it continues. Has he been bullied and could this be learned behavior? In our case, it was copying what other kids did to him.Hth,Kim-- Sent from my Palm Pixi would a verbal child with autism/aspergers know how to mock other kids. kinds like the "nana booboo you cant catch me!" or making fun or taunting a younger sibling who got in trouble or because they got something the younger sibling didnt? and fully being aware of how this behavior affects the other person which is why they do it? doesnt seem like typical autism like behavior in that it requires them to be aware of the effects it has on others and the feeling it invokes on others. comments?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 My son has been capable of that since early on! Psychologist and I even used to argue about it, she thought it was just a coincidence.
