[QUOTE="Andy, post: 224952, member: 5096"] Terry, I have been thinking about that weird remark all day. "You're an idiot but you are really smart." That is your difficult child's way of explaining Aspergers - a brilliant person who doesn't always "get" it. Kids just hate it when we check up on their story. Like having dad tell him he could have the PS2 back if explained in a kind way. And what part of shoving the list in your nose goes under "in a kind way"? However, since difficult child was the one to bring it up, now may be a good time to give him another talk on handling frustrations in a kind way and that grabbing anything away from anyone does not fit that process. Isn't it nice to know that you are still a girl and can 'fingernail'? Awww the memories that must have brought back (even if you never did, you probably know someone that did). I know those lawyer types well. I have two potential ones. I probably made them into the monsters they are by compromising on too many issues with the, "Fine, if you can find a way then go ahead." When easy child was 2 1/2, we drove past mother in law's home. "Grandma! Grandma!" "No, we are not going to Grandmas!" She kept insisting then complete silence. I looked back and saw a little smirk on her face, "I ask Daddy!" Sometimes having an early vocabulary is not always easy on the parents. It really is amazing how creative these kids can be to get what they want. [/QUOTE]
