[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 291282, member: 7664"] Terry you made me seriously laugh out loud! [COLOR=red]OMG, now I KNOW my son is living in your house! I am so sorry. I will come over right now and get him. Just this a.m. I was awakened by having a cat thrown in my face--claws first--and a 70# collie coaxed onto the bed and another cat thrown on top of the collie and a smelly Darth Vader blanket thrown on top of all that. And this is when he's in a GOOD mood! [/COLOR] Maybe I need to get out more, but the kids on the spectrum that I've come across seem so much more 'mature', they are out in the regular classroom and don't exhibit all the in-your-face annoying behaviors that my son does. My family is constantly berating me for 'letting him get away with his behaviors', it does no good to tell them that we have tried traditional methods, but it doesn't work. Everyone wants him 'fixed' and these behaviors to go away because they make them nervous and annoyed. Do you make your kids apologize? When difficult child does something really by accident he almost always apologizes on his own. When he does 'naughty' things on purpose (like when he's stressed and his ability to problem solve is nil) his apology will be very insincere if forced.
