[QUOTE="DDD, post: 336146, member: 35"] Teens are a challenge and AS teens are more of a challenge. been there done that. Finding the "right" way to handle your family is the biggest challenge of all. From experience I strongly believe it is necessary to have your family on a schedule that is in effect for everybody. I also strongly believe it is necessary to accept that AS kids mirror behaviors of others, particularly the parents. The strain on parents is a real issue as Moms and Dads have always presumed that they can do and say what they choose because they are the parents. Therefore having to change their lives in order to raise a child properly somehow doesn't seem fair. Fair or not..that's what works with most families. Chaos, spur of the moment decisions, loudness, lack of neatness etc. can work with "normal" kids but it won't work with the AS....they mirror adult behavior. Hugs to you. I know it is not how you wanted your life to be. It's proven, however, to be the effective way to foster maturity and the concept of mutual respect. DDD [/QUOTE]
