whats going on in his mind

catlover

I have 7 year old grandson with aspergers he can be very violent to his mum my daughter kicking punching swearing When things are calm again she talks about what the problem was.She one time asked Are you happy? His reply I dont know Then asked are you sad? His reply I dont know Whats the difference? This makes me feel very SAD.When he is ok and not getting angry he seems happy and content.BUT when he is upset it breaks my heart to think of whats going on in his mind

  • We, on the Spectrum, often can't answer questions like "are you happy?"

    I'm the same.

    I sort of know what happy 'is'.

    And I know I have been happy.

    But most of the time, if you ask me "are you happy?" I'll answer "I don't know".

    In fact, ask me "how do you feel?" and my answer will be "I don't know".

    I seem to recall saying things like "what's the difference?" or "how do I tell?" when I was young too.
