[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 556737, member: 11847"] Welcome to the forum! You will find it to be a wonderful resource. Over a year ago, when I first joined, V was supposed to have ODD... not very helpful. And yes, an "expert" had diagnosed him... Thanks to this forum, a lot of research and never giving up, we now have a real dignosis that fits: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). But one thing I have learned: the need to analyse difficult child's behavior. You are going to have to learn to recognize what is behing your son's behavior. Don't assume anything. For example, V likes to step on my parents toes. He is very sensory seeking and usually so happy when they come and visit that he craves for their touch. He just wants to feel them He is not being malicious about it. Therefor, the response should be "V, you're hurting my toes but if you want I can give you a bear hug". If we were to scolde him for the behavior, V would not understand, everyone would get upset and it would only create more issues. So my best advice to you: try to understand his perspective, where he is coming from. This forum has helped me do that. [/QUOTE]
