[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739210, member: 18958"] SWOT. I am not saying that people on the spectrum are either manipulative or lying. I have no experience or knowledge of this. But the therapists are telling this family that the son may be diagnosed as autistic, and that these behaviors that he is displaying are secondary to that diagnosis, rather than antisocial personality or conduct disorder. This possibility seems to be giving this family more hope that interventions on his behalf may help. If I have a few minutes I will see what I can find. Thus far what I read does not impress me. But I am curious too. ___ Well. I read several articles. And the behaviors they describe sound to me to be NOTHING at all like your stepson. The articles are too long and complicated to summarize here, as they describe case studies and examples, but suffice it to say, the manipulative behavior they describe stems from avoidance of anxiety, and the need to control the environment, due to inability to cope with variation. Nobody on this forum can speak to diagnosis. But from your posts it seems that your stepson deliberately and purposely violated the boundaries of your daughter. He planned this. He put it into effect. He seems to even feel proud of it. That does not seem to fit with what I read in those articles. I found these articles by googling autism spectrum manipulation and lying. The first few articles are about the autistic child's being susceptible as victim. The articles I saw were after those. [/QUOTE]
