[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 131442, member: 3907"] [I]But I think much of her problem has to do with impulsivity. She just thinks and immediately responds. There is not enough time for a delay. It is frightening, because I think it is possible that in her case and in the case of many of these difficult children, that they could very well put their lives in great danger and do this repeatedly, if challenged. [/I] Nomad, you have summed up my difficult child in a nutshell. Every one of the major problems he finds himself in today is the direct result of not controlling his impulses. As for self-care, he knows what he's supposed to do and he knows how to do it, he just chooses not to. difficult child wants someone to do everything for him and he's frighteningly persistent. With 24/7 supervision he's doing what he's supposed to do, but without it, he would sit in a corner, filthy, unfed and sick, just waiting for someone to come along and tie his shoes for him.
