[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 78833, member: 3626"] I agree with most of what has been suggested. I would, however, make the grounding for less than 3 months. A month tied to an adult seems reasonable to me. And during this month, no visitors for any reason, no phone, no easy child unless for homework with an adult sitting right next to her at all times. Extra chores (mine once scrubbed the bathtub with a toothbrush) and the harder the better. I also would never (not just when "grounded") allow a 13 YO, let alone a 13 YO with autism, to just wander around and call in every 2 hours, especially when it is close to dark. It is one thing to be going to the mall for 2 hours, it is another to just go here and there. I would be seriously questioning the austistic diagnosis, even high-functioning Aspergers. She seems awfully capable of functioning in her world for a child with autism ... friends, willingness to lie, comfortable with no structure, etc. It may be time for a new evaluation and, probably, a new diagnosis.
