Question

Carl is a 16 year old with Asperger Syndrome. He has been sent to the principal's office a number of times this school year for arguing with teachers. It seems that when "someone looks at me funny" (as Carl frequently says), his teachers have been trying to tell him that the person was not, in fact, looking at him at all. When this happens, Carl becomes increasingly agitated and argumentative, saying that the teachers are wrong. His teachers cannot figure out why he gets so upset and why he can"t just believe them when they tell him that no one is looking at him funny. Carl's inability to agree with his teachers is an example of what ASD trait?
