[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 88236, member: 1233"] He is NOT rebelling or doing this to get at you. He is trying to cope with a world that makes him anxious. It problem has littled to do with your work. The shredded clothes may be a different coping tool for something that makes him anxious at the Ball field. It is a different thing than chewing, but problem for the same reason. The separate plates is not something to fight. Fighting will just make a battle over food and dinnertime. He is not hitting you or being defiant, this is something I would just let him do. Can you just say, OK but put your plates (rinsed) in the dishwasher when you are done. This way it is not a big issue, and meals will be more pleasant and relaxed. As far as the picking and impetigo, I had/have one that picks. He also does not want "strange unguents" on his body. That would be lip balm, lotion, neosporin, etc... You can't really make him not pick. Can you either put neosporin on them (we oculdn't, he fought like a crazed tazmanian devile when I tried!) or keep peroxide in a spray bottle and spray the spots (or have him spray them) several times a day? Something is stressing your son. Internal or external, until he can cope you will see this stuff. And you are not alone. Sending higs, Susie [/QUOTE]
