And yeah, Em, that is exactly it with the boy. He is most definitely frustrated and upset with himself more than with anyone else so he doesn't exactly want to talk or hug things out at this point, which leaves me wondering what I can do to help him out... Thanks ladies!

Maybe it's just now sinking in that he's in this day camp for the long haul, so he's acting out a bit? The thing that I do notice with some older autistic kids I've met is that since they are older, their frustration and embarrassment at THEMSELVES when they act out is more pronounced, which alot of times makes things worse. They can't handle the fact that they can't handle their emotions. It's hard going through that time for anyone, I can't even imagine what it's like for someone who needs a very clear and concise view of the world to feel comfortable. Email me if you need to talk about it at all! ::hug:: That’s very un-Little Manish! Maybe it’s just now sinking in that he’s in this day camp for the long haul, so he’s acting out a bit?
