[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 336139, member: 8756"] The very first thing you have to do is accept his life long disability. There are days when my dauughter is very "normal," but it never lasts long. Then it seems, out of the blue, she's "acting autistic." Wait; she IS autistic, just had a few really good days. Maybe the stars were all aligned with her mood. As the adult, I have to remember that her brain is different. She will always have issues with socially appropriate communication, and social skills. When my son has bad days I try really hard to remember this as well. Yes I lose my patience with him, but I never expect a lesson learned when *I* didn't react appropriately. So my advice; Accept him as is; Autistic. After you've done this 100%, you can start shaping his behavior. [/QUOTE]
