[QUOTE="Fran, post: 309804, member: 3"] Thanks for the article. One of the emerging skills we have noticed in difficult child is the use of a tool such as a translater or interpreter. At present it's me. At times it's his easy child brother or father. He will call me and tell me what was said in a situation. He obviously wants me to interpret what it means and help him respond appropriately. He knows that he doesn't have an easy time responding in a moderate way. It's either not important enough to respond or it's over the top emotional response. It's a big success to me that he recognizes he needs help with communicating in a way that is not offensive and that he is looking for a tool. It is very obvious to us that their ability to communicate influences their job success and their social success. My difficult child has sabotaged himself by being over the top emotional about an issue that didn't require that heightened emotional response. He has reflected that he failed at jobs by his own lack of a governor over his mouth. What ever he thought immediately came out his mouth. Not very helpful in a job situation. Thanks Terry. [/QUOTE]
