[QUOTE="totoro, post: 109172, member: 3155"] BBK Took the words out of my mouth... I know it feels like you are giving up at times by giving in, but when he says or acts like he is DONE, maybe it is for a reason? We had to use sing language for K when she was much younger, everyone thought we were using it just to advance her, but it was because she was slamming her head against the floor... she did not know how to communicate. I thought at the time she was stubborn, being a brat... able to control herself... little did I know what was really going on. But luckily that Mommy gut took over and said try this. Sign language helped so much. K is 6, she still can not wipe her bottom, well she can. But honestly feels overwhelmed by it... can she explain it to me? NO, she just can't. Is it worth me Making her do it? No, I have her try it, when she is not in a mood. because the alternative is a huge mess and a rash. Can she dress herself? On some days... Most NO. But she is not Autistic, she struggles with overwhelming fears, and anxiety and self doubt... Can she really explain any of this to me or doctors? NO. When I fill out the forms are there spots and sections for any of this... most times , No... So it makes it complex, it has made me have to change my ways!!! ALOT!!! If this means she does not follow the traditional school route, so be it. I have to think about her mind and her anxiety. I don't think these kids are always trying to manipulate us. Even if they are laughing, and smiling when they are doing something... I think there is so much more going on. None of these kids wants to go through these things... I couldn't imagine? I was a kid difficult child and I did not like the way I felt most of the time!!! LOL I know you are are trying everything... I know it is hard, so hard. I just think you have such a complex little boy... maybe more complex than a lot of G'sfg... or maybe in different ways. You have gotten some great advice... Sometimes just given in and seeing what happens is the best route... I have to do it all the time. And you know what? We have all survived!!!! I let K lead a lot of time... (within reason) Hugs [/QUOTE]
