When my kids were very little, I often had to ask them to "use their words" rather than just glowering. That really clicks with what you explain about your son.
To take that one step farther, might that phrase be a helpful tool with ASD, too? I teach one ASD student, and my best friend's son also has Asperger's. They seem frustrated so often... I wonder if this is one reason why.
How would your son react if asked to say what he is thinking? Do you think it would be helpful?
