HE has ASD PDD NOS, high functioning, ever since he started having friends over at the house he has not been as affectionate and all he cares about is his friends and their opinion of him. I asked him to put on his shoes while walking around the yard and he yelled "ok, woman". The new neighbor heard him and Im so mortified. We've been working on him to fix this problem, he does not do it so much with my husband but he disrespects me quite a bit. Help, any thought?
I have 2 grandsons, one with Aspergers who is 19and other is 18. The 18 calls me “old lady” smiling when he says it. Boys go through a tough guy stage in their teens and sometimes younger..The 19 yr old does it sometimes too. You need to pick your battles especially with Autism. They are corrected so much and he probably wants to fit in with his new friends. Try ignoring it or make a joke about it.
