Random Rude Comments, Loud Uncontrolled Laughter, Extremely Intelligent, Beats Himself. Mental Disorder?
Hi! So there is a boy in my class and I am very curious about what his disorder is so I can be more understanding of his outbursts. Sometimes, he will make random comments, have loud, uncontrollable laughter, or be quiet and rock back and forth. He doesn t have friends but is extremely intellegent and can hold an intellectual conversation. Although, today he was punching himself in the face. Do these symptoms lead up to any disorders? Please let me know. Thank you.
