[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 519198, member: 1550"] No difficult child is a difficult child all the time. I have a little girl at school who bites. She bites so badly that parents have complained and threatened to pull their kids out of school. But 80% of the time she isn't biting or having a fit. Even difficult children seem "typical" at least half the time, unless they are extremely damaged. My autistic son seemed normal a lot of the time too. The thing is, he WAS wired differently and DID have moments, some unpredictable times and some predictable ones (like when he was under too much stress) when it would all fall apart. Some wise person once told me, "The only thing you can guarantee about life is that there are no guarantees." I think this applies very well also to our difficult children. We don't always know what will set them off. We just know that something will. it is always good to plan for these lovely occasions in advance :) Might not even hurt to write it down and refer to notes when tempted to scream at the top of lungs over the difficult child's raging and never ever stop.
