[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557683, member: 3419"] Welcome. So sorry you are going through this. With a kid like that, it's never going to be perfect. Also, remember that Aspies are not socially adept, so what another child may be able to accomplish in a much more subtle manner, this child may do blatantly. I'd forget the sly looks. He's trying to get on your nerves and it is working. I would just accept that part as his normal behavior and tell yourself that when he's NOT giving you a sly look, something is up! He should not be berating you because it is disrespectful. Period. You and your SO have to get on the same page, come up a/w plan, so that you are a team, and you appear as one unit to your stepson-to-be. Which leads me to the next issue ... do you want to stay? Is this so bad that it's not worth it to you? Having just met you, I don't know what makes you tick and why you thought it would go smoothly, moving in with-a SO whose son has those Dxes. The dynamics here are far different than those in regular families, and most step families already have issues with-o this sort of thing. You've got a lot on your plate. I agree with-MWM, go to family counseling for a while. [/QUOTE]
