[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 581121, member: 3930"] Oh you guys are so great! Thank you. Yes, he has an IEP. He is at a new school this year and we really haven't heard much from his sped teacher. I guess I need to contact her and tell her that homework is just too much. His world is already pretty small. I do NOT take him to run errands or anything like that EVER. Way more trouble than its worth. He goes to/from school and supposed to go to Cub Scouts once a week. He says he wants to do it, but we have to fight him to go, and fight him to work on the activities in the book to earn the achievements, etc. He puts nothing on his own into it. We wanted him involved for the social aspect but he hasn't really bonded with anyone. He doesn't have any regular close friends even at school. He is happy to do stuff on the computer 24x7, or play xbox. Mostly the computer and not simple stuff either. He figures out how to build programs to download things and how to bypass parental controls so he can complete surveys and get paid. He also creates web pages, html, etc. I physically pick him up and drag him to the shower once a week. I comb his hair and wash his face daily. He will practically not even dress himself. He just keeps saying "hang on" or "just a minute" whenever I tell him to do anything. He has completed homework all these years because I sit down and do EACH AND EVERY problem with him. I don't want to do that anymore. I am tired and the work is getting harder. I've already done my time at school. I have been neglecting stuff with my younger child - like his homework and reading, etc. Terry, I do compliment him on specific things frequently. He thinks we hate him and don't want him. He knows he is difficult but that doesn't change anything. husband and I don't see eye to eye. I think he thinks being Hitler is the answer our children need. He gets physical too because difficult child will come after him - and I don't like it at all. He will hold him or restrain him and difficult child will just flip inside out. The past 5 years feel like 20! I think I have an ulcer. [/QUOTE]
