[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 131593, member: 3907"] Welcome craftysis! So glad you found us, and so very sorry that you needed to. Sounds like you have your hands full.Others will be along soon with wisdom and recommendations to offer, but I just wanted to take a moment to say hello and welcome. I don't have a lot of experience with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), but my difficult child who has Asperger's syndrome also has ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ODD etc. which are all related to the Asperger's. You are right that building a good relationship with your brother's school is a great idea. Check out the Special Education forum for some ideas on the best ways to navigate your SD's requirements. As for dealing with the defiant behaviour, rages, etc., there are many different strategies that work well for different people. When my difficult child was younger and losing it, we found that time out worked really well. In order for this to be effective though, we had to strip his room. Bed, dresser, no doors on the closet, a few open shelves for his things. No drawers that closed, nowhere that he could hide things. Everything in his room visible with a quick glance from the doorway. When faced with the defiance, try not to react (well, at least not obviously). If they don't get the pay-off, sometimes it's less worth their while. Your mileage may vary, these are just initial suggestions off the top of my head. All the best, and come back often. This is a great place. Trinity [/QUOTE]
