[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 574984, member: 11847"] Tedo, V can name those 3 feelings but does not always apply them approprietly and certainly cannot say how HE feels. He is able to say "I feel good or I feel bad". But a year ago he could not even name those 3 feelings. So yes, it is progress. Looking at books, he is able to label all 3 the right way. I actually think it is one of the reason he is diagnosis with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and not High Function Autism. He has a basic understanding of feelings or why people act the way they do. Applying theory to reality is harder. Yesterday, we had a mini meltdown about what movie to watch. We all agreed on pirates and V wanted dinosaur. It was done without preperation but both husband and I jumped on the "first...then..." technique. We promissed that the next day (today) he would watch the dinosaur movie. He had a hard time understand why he could not watch it right now, the notion of democratie is not easy! ;). But long story short, V was able to calme down within minutes and enjoy the movie he had not chosen. Most of the time, it's not so much about coping techniques but a need to understand why he can't have his way all the time, why his choices/wishes have to come second or third sometimes. [/QUOTE]
