[QUOTE="nvts, post: 259646, member: 3814"] Jlady! Don't dispair! Let me ask you: How does his Aspergers present? My difficult child 1 is a miniature dictator. Decent eye contact, speaks beautifully, laughs (when it's to his benefit) - but can swing into a screaming, verbally abusive little creep if his anxiety "lights him up". Conversely, difficult child 2 has terrible eye contact, walks on his toes, wears his underwear backward (and doesn't notice), but is warm, loving, affectionate and has empathy to a fault. Frustrate him? Uh-uh...you have awakened the "Hulk". He drops to the floor and cries. Or he'll throw a desk (extremely rare!). Honestly? difficult child 1 has been in therapy for 5 years and I'm just about ready to quit. He had a meltdown this past Thurs. because the therapist wanted him to respond to a question and he didn't "feel like answering". In the heat of the meltdown, he said "eff you" to me! After all was said and done I told him "By the way, don't think I don't remember, and trust me I will never forget, that you said "f-u" to me. What I want you to keep in the very front of your brain is that if you EVER say that to me again, I'm going to slap your face and I don't care who sees me." "They can call ACS on me, take you away, but I will NEVER listen to it again, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" I wanted to snap him in half! :winking: It's natural to be frustrated! I'd like to suggest that you look more deeply into Aspergers Syndrome itself. Once you're more comfortable in your skin with the diagnosis itself, it'll be easier to deal with. In the meantime, keep on posting! Sometimes just venting makes you feel so much better! Beth [/QUOTE]
