[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 323284, member: 3907"] DaisyFace, this struck a nerve with me as my difficult child is STILL doing this, and STILL pulling the wool over people's eyes. He was put through intensive socialization classes as a child. Between that and therapy, he learned to look cherubic, spout buzzwords, and say what he thinks people want to hear. All the while, he continues to be a holy terror. At his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) right now, they've been working with him on remaining engaged in the conversation when the topic is uncomfortable for him. As a result, he now points his head at you (He's Aspie, so he fakes the eye contact, same way I do), nods a lot, and says "yeah" over and over again when you're saying something important. Thing is, he still doesn't hear a word anyone says, he just looks like he does. One day it's going to bit him in the backside. Hard. At this point I'm just waiting for it to happen. Sorry that your school therapist can't see the real difficult child. Given her schedule, I suspect she's in the business of crossing as many people off her list as she can. If your difficult child presents well, then she's off the list and the therapist can focus on the other 1000 people. The system is messed up that way. Trinity [/QUOTE]
