[quote=Anonymous]I think some of the posts have just been spot-on. I feel that ASD kids can be socially motivated, extroverted, kind, sympathetic people.... BUT... because they express these emotions/communicate their feelings in a completely different way than most NT people expect, we think that they don't value social interaction. Also, I see that my child withdraws because already at age 5, he has experienced a lot of teasing, feeling awkward, rejected... and he's also very sensitive emotionally to any perceived slights from other kids... so he is IMO, defensive and hence unfriendly with others. And, it's hard to keep all this in mind when you have to interact daily with someone with these deficits because it's easy to chalk it all up to bad behavior. [/quote]
