[QUOTE="ML, post: 117182"] My son is AS though not officially diagnosed. He has all of the things you mentioned in your post. I don't know what the answer is. To outsiders, I looked like the worst parent in the world. My step kids couldn't believe that I didn't juts beat the (fill in the blank) out of him. But when I used the authoritarian approach it escalated and got worse. This is going to sound silly but I was able distract him by saying "I can see this has gotten you really upset, can I make you a cup of tea"? It became a good way to transition out of the meltdown. Now that we are on the Celexa, these have mellowed quite a bit but theys till occur, just a bit less frequent and less intense. Thinking of you today. ML [/QUOTE]
