[QUOTE="slsh, post: 305575, member: 8"] Hi Chelle, and welcome. I like the suggestion of recording or videotaping an episode for counselors. I also have a son who was a master at manipulating psychiatrists and tdocs. He'd walk into their offices with his little halo just shining, and I would be offered instruction on reward charts (*again*) and parenting skills (which certainly were needed at times, LOL). We'd get home (if we were lucky to make it that far) and the violence would be back in full force. If you're able to do it, I would continue the search for a therapist who can hear what you're dealing with, not just see the charming child who walks into their office. That was one of my biggest frustrations over the years - trying to find someone who comprehended the behaviors we were dealing with at home and in school, because it just didn't jibe with the usually calm and compliant kid they were seeing. We have had a couple of outstanding therapists, but it took a great deal of searching. How does your son do in school? Are they having the same kinds of problems? Again, welcome and so glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
