[QUOTE="Desdamona, post: 275066, member: 7366"] I don't really think this is on the autism spectrum. I am very familiar with the autism spectrum, on a personal level. This is something different. He can turn his "naughty" behavior on and off. If he is around Mom or Dad, he can be a perfect little angel - a totally different kid. It has been my experience that autism spectrum kids have their behavioral problems no matter where they are, maybe can hold it in check for a bit, but then it comes out. This kid is VERY sneaky and is one way with Mom or Dad, different with me or my daughters. I have seen behaviors in him I have not witnessed in other human beings, and I am genuinely scared! We have been to counselors, but since Mom and Dad fill out the information, there doesn't appear to be a problem with the kid. It comes across like a problem he has with me! I am honest to goodness scared of this kid. I am scared that he will someday seriously hurt or kill me and/or my children. I don't feel anybody is taking me seriously, except for one counselor. She seemed "on my side" - but all of a sudden, Dad didn't want to go to her because he didn't think she knew what she was talking about. (I think she maybe hit a little too close to home...??) Any suggestions on how to get Mom or Dad to help this kid without getting into a major fight? [/QUOTE]
