[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 106675, member: 1550"] Taking away Christmas doesn't mean they're going to "get it." They ARE disabled and in my opinion they need different types of parenting. I have a son on the autism spectrum, and they don't think the way we do. Treating them like they do in my opinion will not work. I'm being blunt because it's true. Even easy child's act up at Christmas time. Ask any teacher. It's harder for kids with inherent control issues and a bit of parental denial at the severity of the children's disabilities and ability to control themselves. With help, they can learn to control themselves, but help is NOT this form of discipline--it's help and appropriate discipline that they understand. My Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified son was out of control at one time, but he is doing great now. Is your son getting lots of interventnions in school? More than focusing on the "bad" I'd focus on getting them more stablized. You sound really stressed and I do feel that family therapy would be a better solution than taking away something like Christmas. You aren't being "soft" if you keep Christmas, and get these little guys more help.
