[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 326282"] We've tried every form of incentive available - positive and negative. Nothing makes much of a difference beyond a few days. I know difficult child doesn't want to fail. We have a great psychiatrist - who gives us his cell phone and we can reach at anytime and actually see's patients for a full hour. We see him about once a month. difficult child does have an IEP in places and is in all co-taught classes. As soon as difficult child becomes the least little bit uncomfortable, he typically stops trying. He has learned over time to handle some situations, but it's taken years (e.g., he can finally order his own food at McDonald's). He's been tested numerous times for autism, always negative; BiPolar (BP) much more obvious as he gets older. Small World - can you tell me more about how your son was tested; I believe you were the one that gave me some references to a wilderness camp last summer; Residential Treatment Center (RTC) has been mentioned by psychiatrist numerous times. Aside from cost, husband and I have always been afraid of how difficult child might react; perhaps withdrawing even more since he perceives ANY discussion about going away to such a program as a punishment.
