Thanks these are all helpful points of view. I am going to the psych tomorrow and I will talk to her about this. The psych spends the first 15 minutes giving me strategies to deal with my son, then we spend some time with him, then I leave and they talk. He really likes seeing her and I think she is helping somewhat.

Zen Scanner, I think some of that is going on with my son. He told me once that he thinks "100% differently" than everyone else his age.

Howler, your post makes sense to me. My son is very concerned with being fair, and maybe his sense of fairness is somehow engaged by the perceived fakeness.

Thanks all.
