[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 40650, member: 1550"] Hi. Most covered what I'd say, but I'm wondering if he actually HAD the neuropsychologist testing and what the result was. The throwing a stone for attention is what my son would have done before his interventions...lol. He's on the high end of the autism spectrum, and we got all sorts of other, wrong diagnosis. before that he was put on all sorts of medications that didn't help and that he didn't need. He was more "quirky" than anything, but he got ADHD/ODD as a diagnosis. and then bipolar, both were wrong. I strongly recommend following through with the neuropsychologist testing. Sometimes they don't catch what is wrong until they are older and things become more obvious--my son was 11 before his diagnosis. was actually the correct one and he got the right help. I have to agree that over-punishing doesn't tend to work with our kids--and in my opinion they don't tend to learn from it either and it punishes US more than THEM because the kids make us miserable and miss out on much needed socializing (for those with very poor social skills). But it's up to each family as to what to do. I think the $200 for the window is the punishment fitting the crime. My son broke five windows before he finally got it (big sigh). He had a thing about throwing stones. Fortunately, he is really doing well with intensive interventions and no longer behaves in destructive ways. Unfortunately, the right diagnosis. is soooooooo important because each diagnosis requires different treatment. At the same time, it is sooooooooooo hard to get the right diagnosis. because there are no blood tests.
