I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a manipulator that likes to bat his eyes! We have a LOT of behavior issues but you have to look to see the physical limitations M has. When we are out and he's having a hard time in public, it gets really loud and can be scary. When someone stops to watch, I just tell them I'm being a "mean mommy" to my son by not giving in but I'd be happy to talk when things are calmed down. Usually that causes a laugh to other parents and no one wants to wait with a screaming spitting child. A few times, M has stopped his fit and told me that I am not mean, I'm just being responsible. (ahh, almost a breakthrough moment)
good luck!
