[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 410308, member: 1991"] We're not trying to dismiss his diagnosis - just that, as you yourself have noted, the label (whichever one) doesn't seem to explain everything and doesn't seem to give you any help in what to do for him (and for yourself). If he's got Learning Disability (LD), or ADHD, or any one of a number of other disorders, then he is likely to have a shorter fuse anyway as well as being less able to learn social appropriateness the way other kids do. That will lead to him (or any other child) developing oppositional reactions to discipline which is where the diagnosis often comes from. You work with whatever labels you're given. Right now we're struggling with a problem that doesn't seem to have a label, that could well be a subset of his autism diagnosis. Or not. Very frustrating. Sometimes it seems we get past one hurdle, and another ten appear on the horizon! Hang in there. All ideas here are pooled from a collective parent direction, we are not professionals. So take stuff or not, as you choose. I'm sorry if you have felt unsupported or challenged - I don't think that was anybody's intention. Marg [/QUOTE]
