[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 661556, member: 11791"] [USER=17461]@Scent of Cedar *[/USER] - I'm NOT convinced that Lil and Jabber's son is neurotypical, and likewise not convinced that any of his behaviors are manipulation. I know that back in the day when I was throwing major tantrums (yes, into my 20s), there was no concept of manipulation. It was purely a lashing out against things that were totally overwhelming - overload mode is what I call it now, and while I still get there, I don't tantrum any more. It took years of therapy and coaching before I even understood that a tantrum was a problem for anybody else. Is he still responsible for the results of his reaction? Yes. People are not expected to walk on eggshells just because people like us have challenges dealing with the real world. Somehow, we do have to learn what the real world is. It's a long road. But for someone to commit to doing something for this kid, and then do a total reversal - for a black and white thinker, that is betrayal, and it's very hard to recover from. [/QUOTE]
