Not sure if this is agreeing or disagreeing

I used to tutor for a kid who clearly had some manner of developmental disorder--I think someone said PDD-NOS once, but he was pretty atypical even for atypical. When told to stop doing something, he wouldn't stop unless he expected some form of punishment. If he expected punishment, he would apologize profusely in what seemed to be a sincere tone. Then he would do the same thing again whenever he wanted to do it, and if he again expected to be punished, he would apologize again in exactly the same tone and with exactly the same words. He seemed to regard other people as robots with programmed responses, and would provoke whatever responses he thought were funny, not caring (or maybe not recognizing) if what he said or did hurt their feelings.

He had serious issues with learning and retaining information, so at first I tried to react to him as someone in need of help, but the more exposure I had to him, the harder it became to respond to his behavior with anything other than anger. I further noticed that any other person who had had prolonged exposure to him would react with anger or cold frustration to almost anything he said, even if that person was nice and friendly to everyone else. (This included, but was not limited to, every member of his family.) At times, I felt a lot of pity for him, unable to learn well enough to function in school and not socially aware enough to function in society. At other times, he seemed completely happy as he was, provoking people according to his whims and safe from any real consequences for his actions.

If nothing else, I'll agree that yes, mentally ill people can be hard to deal with.

I feel like I just read a complete description of my little cousin, he has ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and all of the things you listed matches with his behaviour. It's very frustrating, just like you said :/ he would lie blatantly and then cry for forgiveness, be forgiven and started laughing and lying again.

What his grandmother did to atone a lot ot his hyperactivity was to be VERY patient (he would start screaming and she would ignore him, then talk quietly with him about how he shouldn't be like this and ask him to help her with the chores, which he liked to since he always wants to do something), but then she is his grandmother and loved him to death, so it's understandable her compromise. My cousin had also many tutors for school, but he would start kicking them or throwing them things, so yeah :/ I understand you would get mad at him. I get mad with my own cousin a lot of times too.

The only thing that helps on those cases is to talk with the parents and tell them the boy needs counseling. In my cousin's case he also needs medication, but counseling it's the best and a lot of compromise to help them by being really patient.
