[QUOTE="klmno, post: 143693, member: 3699"] Thanks, Star!! I know you (and Dude) are going through worse- and I want to send HUGS to you, too. About the behavior- yeah, I know it doesn't fit the norm. I know he can't help ALL of it and it is definetly NOT all intentional. It isn't my goal, though, for people to make excuses for him all his life- the whole idea of IDEA, I believe, is that it teaches them and helps bridge the gap between what they are capable of now and what they need to be capable of as adults.- The concept of The Explosive Child- you know, it isn't that we think they are idoits that can't learn and should just have a different set of rules. But, taking the stand that "live by the rules now or you are out" will never make it happen- it makes it worse because it sets them up for failure after failure and not only that, it undoes what little progress has been made. And I am sure- I'm preaching to the choir here, right!! LOL!! I'm just venting to those I know can understand, so thanks to all for being here. Star, you are in my thoughts and prayers. [/QUOTE]
