[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 391494, member: 3907"] Thanks Jane. Those rules were learned the hard way, and were really our last resort. We had tried pretty-much everything else, and were just about ready to give up. After a spate of completely over-the-top behaviour from difficult child that led to his being handcuffed and hauled away by the police, and then sentenced to a year's house arrest, I figured that we may as well try to make home as jail-like as possible if we had any hope of getting through to him. Lo and behold, jail-like conditions with that level of rigidity and structure, and he started thriving and became a much happier young man. Who knew? I suspect that's also why he thrives in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/Assisted Living environment -- strict rules, routine and structure, order, 24/7 support. [/QUOTE]
