[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 437168, member: 1550"] That doesn't sound like a stimulant to me, however he may have thought it up by something he saw on television (typical Aspie...they like to copy what they see). I don't know what to do. With my "typical" kids I did time outs and they worked really well. When my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child tantrummed, he could not calm himself unless he was in his room alone. I would stand by his door so I could hear what he was doing, but stayed out because he calmed down faster without me there. He never really sassed off. I'm not sure what I'd have done if he had. I don't know if time out would have worked for him because he wouldn't sit in his time out chair...lol. Guess it wouldn't have worked then, huh? My own opinion, and I could be wrong, is that fighting fire with fire is not going to work with a spectrum child. They are very literal. Rather than understanding what you are doing, they may think you are just being mean to them and act out even worse, plus think you hate them. We walk a fine line, don't we? Are you seeing an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) specialist or in an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) parent group? You get fantastic suggestions from other parents who are going through the same things. I highly recommend joining a group of parents who have children with similar diagnoses. It's like having THIS board in person :) Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
