[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 580702, member: 3419"] Okay, please do get back with us. Just a brief comment--I bought a bunch of books on Asperger's a few yrs ago and decided that the interventions that were suggested would pretty much work for anything, regardless of diagnosis, sort of like The Explosive Child, or What The Explosive Child is trying to tell you. One thing that takes a long time, but really works with-my son, is to actually explain the "why" of something, instead of "because I told you so." The problem is that you will be dragged into an argument, but you have to learn to say, "End of discussion. I'm sorry you don't like my explanation." But explanations do help prevent blowups. Ex, "We are stopping by the grocery store because I need more lettuce for sandwiches," instead of, "Because we need to go to the store." Also, pay attention to how literal he is. For ex, if you change your route, and go to the post ofc instead of the grocery store first, does he throw a fit? [/QUOTE]
