Reply #31: Some of that does apply to him. [View All]

I like to joke and cut-up, and I try to lighten his mother's mood by doing impressions, etc. I do a great Fat Bastard impression (sound, not visual). But if I do anything like that around the little guy he will attack me. It's very disturbing to him that I'm not using my real voice.

Sometimes he can take a joke and sometimes he can't. And he loves telling jokes when he's in a good mood. He does have a sense of humor - sometimes.

We know most of the things that will set him off, but the folks at school do not. And so often, they are so intent on making him follow their rules that they miss opportunities to coax him back into a compliant mood due to their misplaced notion of "punishing" his bad behavior.
