[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 108057, member: 3893"] Marg - you really should write a book - you totally get the autistic thought process and you articulate it so well! I had to laugh at the scenarios you presented. We've experienced every one of them over the years. I have to say, the hardest thing I've ever done was to change those ingrained parenting tactics that just don't work at all with someone on the spectrum. And isn't it ironic how the very skill we're trying to teach our aspies - flexibility - is the one thing parents don't model when they demand instant action. Nothing is more frustrating to an aspie than hypocracy. BellyKate - you really sound like you've got a handle on your daughter and I think you'll see a turnaround soon. Long term goals would be to teach her how to communicate her needs to others. Overall, society is pretty inflexible. [/QUOTE]
