manipulative or cant communicate?

[Guest guest]

My 7 yr old is being labeled by the school as manipulative by the

autism doctor and also not labled autistic. Right now, he had a

tantrum, yelling at the top of his lungs he wanted to come back from

his grandma's. I didnt want him to get his way but we finally gave

in. Now, we get home and is desperate to go to the toilet because his

stomach hurts. This just continues to show me that he is verbal but

cannot tell me how he feels so he acts out. Is this manipulative and

behavioral or is it a child now being able to communicate his needs?

His teacher is saying that he is manipulating everyone and is

disrupting everything and wants him there more hrs then the 4 hrs he is

already there. My complaint is that they cant handle him 4 hrs, why

put him in longer?...

what do yall think?
