[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 118701, member: 3893"] I don't blame you for feeling frustrated, sad and angry- sure sounds like intentional behavior. He's a smart little bugger! This behavior reminds me of my son's answer to his therapist's question, "why do you behave in school but not at home"...because I wouldn't know what to do at school if they didn't tell me, but at home I know what I want to do. He's learned to conform in public but it's draining and he needs lots of uninterrupted down time when he gets home. Any attempt by us to try to get him to do anything was met with extreme opposition and meltdowns at that age. I really thought I was going insane at the time. It has gotten better over the years though, and he's more willing to compromise now but has always had strong beliefs about what was right for him. I've learned to follow his lead more than my own. Keep us posted on your progress. Sounds like you might have found the right person. Fingers crossed. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
