[QUOTE="Winnielg, post: 585079, member: 16059"] LOL. On the grounded for 200 years comment in particular. We have always just taken away small things until just recently and usually for a finite period of time. For example if he were to do something that warranted a consequence maybe we would just turn off the Internet for the evening. Because it was ineffective to have it as a consequence for multiple days he just never got it. Lately though he has pushed so much and is still lucky to be living here that we are just so exhausted. I remember one of the first police episodes in our life when difficult child was in the eighth grade And we grounded him for the first time which was only for 24 hours where he had to sit in his room and do nothing but read or he could practice violin. That was the worst 24 hours ever he acted as if he was being tortured. Over the years through various therapists I feel like we've tried just about everything from reward based systems to being able to earn back privileges. We have worked with every specialist to come up with every plan. But in the end I really wonder if it was all for naught as as he is getting older he seems to view any authority as an affront. He even said to a police officer once "what are you going to do handcuff me ? inconvenience me ? F-off". So why I would think that he would follow rules of our home is interesting. Thank you so much for all of your support. So glad I found this forum. [/QUOTE]
