[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 568253"] Buddy, absolutely their relationship is becoming more stressed as is ours. He has always been my more flexible and understanding child and to have him flip-flop like this is such a HUGE change for him. That's what makes it so much harder to deal with. It's like he did a 180 with puberty. Now he's actually more of a difficult child than difficult child 1 right now. Ktllc, he used to see a therapist (PhD psychologist that came highly recommended) who said he was doing okay and that his "quirks" are just him being him. She is actually very good but I don't think (in hind-sight) she has a lot of experience with kids on the spectrum. I've had many discussions with him about some of this stuff and his response is "why does it always have to be difficult child 1's way". It used to be just to keep the peace with difficult child 1 but that isn't the case with difficult child 1 any more. He doesn't see other's points of view anymore like he used to. He just doesn't get that HIS behavior isn't acceptable and that it never was with difficult child 1 either so that's why I was always getting after him. Now when I get after difficult child 2, he reacts worse than difficult child 1 ever did....with the typical teen attitude. I am seriously wondering if I shouldn't take him to see a psychiatrist to see if there's a medication that can help with some of this. I know it's increased anxiety over change but don't know if there's a medication that will help him. [/QUOTE]
