[QUOTE="nvts, post: 109444, member: 3814"] The problem is that difficult child 1 is an aspie but the school he's in is day treatment for emotionally disturbed or behavioral kids. They (up until recently) handled all kids the same way. Consequences were trips to the crisis intervention room (where they're basically allowed to blow off steam, aka have a tantrum in an enclosed environment) because they've hit their limit. They are then counciled, show remorse and are sent back to class. difficult child 1 however, viewed the CIT as somewhere to go to act like an animal. Kicking, screaming, cursing where he would literally stay all day. Why not? He's not required to do work and he can do stuff he wouldn't dare pull at home. Considering the fact that they've come along in the ways (as the result of many meetings, and head banging trying to figure out the best road to take) in trying to help him rather than trying to contain him, I needed to step in on this issue. It's pretty much the ONLY thing that hasn't come along. Since it's the ONLY issue that I've left alone and it hasn't changed it was time to let him know who's boss. As far as it goes, I don't think this will be a miraculous solution, but we tried the "school is school" and "home is home" method and it could only be described as a kick in the teeth. "Damian - Omen 2" showed up at school every day and "Little Lord Fauntleroy" got off the bus at home, just short of bragging about what he did at school. I figure at this point, it's worth a shot!
