[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 507238"] I'm sorry to say this but there is a HUGE difference between won't and can't. You're assuming he knows how and is purposely doing these things. In our case, that assumption was 100% wrong and difficult child 1 got punished more than he should have. It wasn't until I changed MY mindset to "he would do well if he COULD" that things started changing. There was a reason difficult child 1 COULDN'T use the coping strategies he'd been taught in social skills class when he was frustrated, anxious, or angry. There's a reason difficult child 1 HAS to wake difficult child 2 up in the morning when he wakes up first even though he's been told a million times not to do that. Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is a speech-language pathologist. They evaluate all aspects of language. Please do you son and you a favor and change your mindset. Something is going on that HE can't help. Try seeing it from a different perspective and please get those books as soon as you can. All the punishment for what my son couldn't control caused him to go into a very deep depression. [/QUOTE]
