[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570692, member: 12886"] I agree with tedo, he reminds me so much of my high functioning spectrum-ish kids. So rigid/stuck/unable to easily shift mindset. So hard to see another's perspective. As hard as it is to have a child with severe disabilities I've always said we are in a way blessed that there is something obvious to deal with. Parents who know there is something else....either an umbrella diagnosis. or some issues not identified or whatever....really have my sympathy. You are in the deep end without floaties! You do such an amazing job settling him. I think his leaving was actually positive. Would be good if he could do it more planfully, as a coping method before things get too far. But removing himself is actually a pretty good strategy. He needed an "out" then, and you gave him options. He then made a good choice. We always have our worst times getting ready for something or at the beginning of an event. (Transitions) my family actually lovingly looks at their watches and will say, give him x minutes and he'll be settled in. It's like clockwork. So predictable. [/QUOTE]
