[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 370560"] Yes, I know just what you mean! Our son gets "stuck", I guess you could say, and he just can't seem to move into any other option - in his mind, there is only one option - his way. He also doesn't seem to care about the impact his behavior has on others, although, I know this is part of his disability. It is one of the hardest aspects to live with, in my opinion. I feel frustrated that it's such a struggle to get him to do even the smallest tasks, like washing his hands or getting himself dressed, for example. I know he is capable of doing these things, but let's just say everything is a potential battle if I really want to push him to do it. And, as he's getting bigger, I'm more concerned with his physical rages being destructive. Just the very existence of our older son seems to aggravate difficult child. He literally tries to order his 6' tall, 16-yo brother around - where to sit, how much to eat . . . if we don't intervene, it's ridiculous. Has your son received any therapy (in-home or counseling), and have any medications proved helpful? Anyway, my thoughts are with you, and I hope your weekend improves. You're doing the best you can, and that's the best you can do. [/QUOTE]
