Some children and adolescents with Asperger’s syndrome can feel responsible for another person’s agitation or distress and apologize or appease when they did not cause the other person’s feelings. Wendy Lawson explained: Until recently I always believed that if someone close to me was ‘angry’ then it must be because of me. Now I am beginning to realise that people can be unhappy or even angry, for many different reasons. In fact it may have nothing to do with me at all!
