[QUOTE="OTE, post: 13310"] Glad he got into the school. And TEACCH will come through eventually. By most stds 8 mo isn't a long waiting list in the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) evaluation world. As the others said, there's really just carrots and sticks. I know you're using those just to get him out of bed some days, but it's all you've got. His computer is his only passion so use it. If you have to, lock all the other rooms and take everything, sheets, pillows, etc off his bed... as long as the heat is on it's not abuse or neglect. Being uncomfortable may be the only way to motivate him right now. I know he whines, moans and drives you insane if you do such a thing, but lock yourselves in your rooms and let him whine to himself. Put in earplugs to walk around the house if you have to. But don't let him get the better of you and don't cave in. This is a battle you need to win. Remember that it takes 2 to argue. If one doesn't engage there's no argument. I can retreat and he can pound on my door but I won't answer. If he damages my door pounding then he gets a consequence for property damage. And I tell him the consequence before I close my door.
