[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493986, member: 12886"] This is EXACTLY what my son does.... so really the psychiatric hospital people said it is not that they are really oppositional in terms of ODD kinds of kids... they automatically go to the negative, but it can for some be a way to buy time to process to make sure it is what they really want to do... My son gets himself into not getting fun things this way... After his brain catches up to what is really being said, he will often realize he made the wrong answer! I always warn staff, teachers, etc to not react to every single refusal or no etc. I tell them to wait and see if he is really NOT doing what we are asking. There are tons more examples. This summer if he was told to get out of our pool for a time to relax/chill out he would yell NO as he was swimming to the ladder and climbed out and took his break. LOL........... MY girl friend who has a son who just graduated (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) and I were just talking about this over lunch a week ago. Also why they seem to gravitate toward the negative things in life...like news stories about people who die etc. She too has students who are like that in her Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) class. It is interesting how kids are so different but we find some commonalities like that. [/QUOTE]
