[QUOTE="steph3306, post: 167050, member: 4944"] Marquerite, that is one of the best explinations I have heard about my son from anyone. I guess since he is so smart I thought he was just being defiant towards us but maybe there are some things he isn't processing yet. I think that we think he is disrespecting us as parents when he is defiant like that but now that you have explained things differently I am understanding that he isn't being disrespectful he is just trying to process things. He was just recently diagnosed so we are still trying to learn how all this works and everyone I have talked to said every child is different. This morning we did have a break through. He was waiting on the bus and he got off the porch and I told him he need to sit back down or he was going to have to go in and wait on the bus. He sat down with no arguments. Normally he would have yelled no at me and ran down the road. I think I have became very frustrated and he is getting some of the yelling from me. Sometimes it is do hard not to let him upset me. I was raised by a yeller and so I see myself doing it and I try not to but he knows exactly what buttons to push. I like the idea of basket B. It makes since. But I thought if we didn't "make" him mind then we were just letting him get by with something. I think my husband and I are going to have to learn that he does have issues and we need to figure them out. My biggest questions is why does he mind others and not us? Are we doing something wrong?
