[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 242927, member: 3419"] I'm not so sure I agree. You have to remember that these kids are emotionally way behind. Does he hug your husband that way, too? My difficult child has always hugged very hard. We used to have hugging contests to see who could hug the hardest and get worn out first. Mostly, he got the hugging because it was way too strong for me! He still likes to cuddle, but not so often any more. It used to be every night. Then 4X a wk. Now once a wk. The "grown man" part of it has to be set aside for the moment, at least with-my difficult child. He's a child in his mind. No doubt about it. Definitely, there's a hyper component to your son. These kids can drive you crazy!!! I agree, you need to set boundaries. "I really like to hug you but I've got a pot of boiling water here that could really hurt someone.:) (Actually, that's what I tell my husband!! :) ) [/QUOTE]
