[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 358253, member: 3419"] In our case, medications have helped a lot. Our son has been on Adderall for many yrs, and we just changed, as he is aging out of it and his hormones are running rampant. He also uses clonidine, which calms him down and takes the edge off of eveyrthing, and in the past yr, Imiprimene has helped a lot. If it weren't for the Adderall, we would not have made the progress we have, because difficult child literally could not sit still and absorb any information. It was h*ll. I know that Aspies don't always need medications, but he could be a mixture, and also, some Aspies have such high anxiety, they need medications. Oh, I just remembered something! One day I used a big piece of paper and had difficult child scribble all over it, deliberately. He was hesitant, but I encouraged him to go ahead. He finally did it, and made a fine mess. Then I said, "See? Now, how did that feel? Now you know it's okay to make a mess sometimes, and not have to be perfect on all your papers." He said, "But you TOLD me to MAKE a mess. That's not the same thing." Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhh! He got the msg, though. The next time he tried to start over on a project because it wasn't perfect, I shoved a big piece of paper in front of him and told him to get it out of his system. He shoved it away and said, "Okay, okay, I get it." :happy: I can't believe I forgot that. I have to write these things down and save them on my hard drive ... [/QUOTE]
