I always help my son understand when to laugh and when not to laugh.eg laughing when someone is hurt, I always help him as the incident occurs, the correct response.More so I downloaded videos with kids animating the correct response to situations.

Jaden may not know how to express himself verbally the way we do. He may feel the complete opposite and express in a way that just makes sense to him. He could be using it as a defense mechanism to be able to show he is frustrated and can't do what the others were doing. My son does the same thing except he gets to screaming and crying and can't figure out what it was that got him to leave the game in he first place. Jaden is an awesome child who was blessed to have parents like yourselves. Maybe when things calm down do an activity with him that he enjoys and use that time to see what he needs to help him through his level of frustration and why he laughs. Could be a way that he tries to hide his true feelings and doesn't want anyone else to know or feel embarrassed so he walks away. In his mind he may feel like someone could make fun of him or make him feel less than. Even though we as parents know that isn't the case nor will it ever be.

@A MyAutismTeam Member I struggle with that line too-- don't understand vs don't care. It's a hard one!

social skills would help him with understanding social queues and learn about his emotions

Could it maybe be that he is just sort of laughing at his own frustrations to try and cope with being frustrated? (I don't know if that makes sense the way I worded It. It didn't really look as good as it sounded in my head when I typed it. )
