[QUOTE="seriously, post: 446829, member: 11920"] He is battling us over pretty much everything all day every day. Medical appointments are a particularly good thing for him to be oppositional about because he knows that they are often non-negotiable so, to some extent, he has us over a barrel. However, it's also because he's had a lot of medical procedures/interventions and I think anything that even hints that it's medical triggers anxiety and painful memories for him. He is so out of touch with his own behavior and it's affect on others. When we finally got home yesterday, he asked me if he could have his Xbox time. I was speechless. Then I said no, you broke house rules in a pretty big way last night, you were really difficult all day today. So you can't have Xbox time today. His reply "I only broke the house rules once last night." What do you mean? I asked He said (no kidding this is what he said) "I only yelled at you once last night and I didn't yell at you at all today." I reminded him that he had trapped me in the laundry room and he said you could leave through the other door (as if this excused his behavior). I shook my head and said that he had broken the house rules in several ways yesterday and today and he didn't get his Xbox time. He slammed out of the car and went inside to provoke more chaos.
