[QUOTE="AmyH, post: 168544, member: 4955"] Every counselor he has had has told us not to let him run over us. Let me tell you we have been through the gamot. When I say be tougher (at my home) I mean to expect respect and thoughtfulness. That is why we are where we are at. There are two major psy hospitals with docs here and we spent most of his life using one. In the past year we have new insurance and are able to use the other and that is where we started getting "real" help. I don't mean be tougher like expect him to be like others with out adhd. But with the asperger's diagnosis it explains why he seems so disrespectful sometimes. And explains alot of his behaviors, which in the past his last two psychiatrist's told us we needed to discipline him for. That is the reason we changed though because we did not agree in the discipline for his behaviors. We try to do more of what was stated in the above reply. Concequences for actions ie... paying for the scratch on my car. And when I said I poped him for jumping on the bed it was not a hit just a pop with my hand and I said " now come on you know better than that, you are 12 1/2 and you need take care of your bed because this is the only bed you have. Bio-dad doesn't think there is a problem at all. He says that he is just a boy and is testing us. But then again when he was first diagnosis with adhd at 4 and given medication he would not give medications. And now he makes difficult child 1 responsible for own medications and on most weekends he forgets a pill or two. I feel like such a horrible parent sometimes. These last couple of weeks have been rough because the therapist has been on vacation. We go back on friday. Thank goodness! [/QUOTE]
