[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 323410, member: 3419"] Boy, does that all sound familiar! Especially when he says you're lying. Sometimes I say, "I made a mistake." Sometimes I add, "Can you help me?" That throws the ball back into his court. One time I was so mad, instead of yelling, GO TO YOUR ROOM, I yelled "Go to h*ll!" LOL! Boy, you should have seen his eyes. LOL. I let that one go for a cpl hrs, and then told him it was just an expression and I owed him 25 cents. (25 cents per swear word.) He was so happy to get the money, he kept his mouth shut. Clonidine helps. Lately he's been awful so I give him 1/2 or one whole tablet at night. Sometimes I have to give him one right when he gets home from school. It is not systematic. Cognition for these kids comes in fits and starts. Sometimes it goes backwards. But I can truly see a difference between say, age 6 and age 12. It seems like for these kids, it takes 3-4 yrs to catch up just one yr. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
