[QUOTE="BTBear52, post: 400398"] Background info: I am in charge of an 11 y.o. down syndrome boy who tends to be ODD with violent behavior. I cared for him from ages 8 to his 10th BD, then left. Now I am back , upon request,and he has regressed since, extremely so. He has an IQ of 75 and can be very sharp and clever, manipulating. His mother died 4 mos before I took charge in 2007. He has, mostly, grieved and that constant, underlying angry, is mostly gone. I mentioned his mother the other day and I watched him transfer his sadness onto the dog, like the dog was sad and needed help, crying while saying he would help the dog. The Problem: Since I have been gone, he has lost every person as a friend due to his over controlling and violent behavior, except one, his best friend. His father will not let him hang with him because the Dad sees him as a little back stabber. This best friend is also, somewhat ODD. He controls himself with me. The Question: Do I get them back together? Will they just feed each others ODD or will my guy gain a sense of respect from us for reuniteing them, helping his ODD? I need some solid feedback, experiences with this would truly help. Thank You All [/QUOTE]
