####Almost all of the children I have worked with that have Asperger Syndrome (including my own daughter) seem to enjoy arguing, especially when you ask them to do something they don't want to do. Many children with Asperger Syndrome will also argue when told that they are wrong even about seemingly insignificant things. Children with Asperger Syndrome seem to have a drive to be perfect and it is a blow to their self-esteem when they discover that they are not.
