[QUOTE="buddy, post: 484472, member: 12886"] This was a difference that psychiatric hospital and Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers have noticed in Q... I have forever too but.... Yes he has times when he says no and means no, or refuses... but typically when you give him a direction (and people forget he can't follow directions for memory and language impairment reasons) he will say no....always! but he will be doing the task while he is saying no. I suspect, and others have wondered too....that he is "buying time " to process what was said and no is safer than yes in most cases, in case it is something he will really hate to do. He has said no so fast sometimes and then when I say OK, then I will give your cousin this (toy, food, whatever) and then he says, "wait, what??? what did you say??" sorry, not the point of the thread, but it just hit me when I read this......I think that is a clear reason why opposition is such a symptom name, not a good diagnosis. It can be for so many underlying reasons. [/QUOTE]
