[QUOTE="Christy, post: 177139, member: 225"] Glad you found some humor in it today. That helps. I always think if my son was someone else's child I'd find him hysterical but being the one trying to reign him in is not fun. You hit the nail on the head whn you said that you can't shut him off when someone gives him atttention, that is exactly my son. He will say anything to anyone. We have been trying to work on this and made a diagram called People We Know. It looks like a bullseye and has three layers, the outer circle, middle circle, and inner circle. Then we made a list of all the people we might encounter and on what circle they belong. Then we wrote appropriate things to say to people in each circle. Periodically I quiz him and bring up a person and ask which circle he/she belongs or I bring up a topic of conversation and ask in which circle it is appropriate to mention it. We also developed a signal for when he begins to spew to much information at someone who has asked a simple question or made a simple remark. I give him a quick squeeze on his arm to clue him that his is providing too much information. I was so impressed the other day when it actually worked. We were at the vet and difficult child politely asked to pet someones dog. He got an okay which also gave him the green light to talk this guys ear off. The man said that the dog's name was Zane. difficult child replies that he has a neighbor named Zane. The man says, "that's nice." and difficult child says, "No, actually it isn't. He is not always nice to me and we don't play so well together. The last time he came over he ...ARM SQUEEZE. difficult child shifts gears and say, "Oh that is too much information isn't it?" The guy laughed so hard he practically fell out of the chair. Keep your sense of humor and the ear plugs handy! Christy [/QUOTE]
