Thanks, . My 14yo son with AS especially struggles with non-verbal

communication, so I will check these things out. He perceives and uses very

little facial expression/body language.

I would have to question whether the " cues " that hold true for the rest of the

population hold true with our kids. DS, when in really BIG trouble has a

tendency to grin. It is an entirely inappropriate facial gesture and can be

infuriating. Does law enforcement take things like that into account? I have

always worried if he were picked up.

Don't know why he does it, but wonder how that factors in.

Thank you Jan, I have to admit it can make my blood boil too! I have to really

stop and take a deep breath, but more than once I have said, " So you think this

is funny? "

Grrr. I think they could get in a lot of trouble too with the wrong person. Any

suggestions?

I haven't found the time or energy to do this yet, but I know it is suggested to

take your child around to the local fire and police departments, let them meet

everybody around, inform them of his/her issues, so they may be aware if

" something happens " . You can even have your house tagged in the 911 database,

with some notes attached.
