:? Hi...I noticed something yesterday with my son: He acts very labile...he will for example say something rude (I can see without intention to hurt you), then cry because he feels so bad about it, then suddenly laugh at something he see that's amusing.
He also acts "silly" together with this, sometimes...Like last night he was cuddling and kissing me while I was reading in bed, but it was excessively so I reasured him and said, it's enough, he must lay still now....them he started crying, said that I'm forcing him to sleep, feels rejected (misunderstanding)...then he farted by accident and started laughing uncontrolibly.......
Can anyone shed some light on this....is this just "normal" Aspie behaviour, is it emotional dysregulation, or what?

I forget how old he is. I would base my answer on the age. Sounds like normal elementary school age behavior, based on my two.
