[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 703246, member: 20727"] I do truly appreciate all the help and advice. Its wonderful to be in a place where people are or have been where your standing. I do take ALL of it in and try to implement what I think applies best to my own situation. I know my son is not a evil spirited monster child that enjoys hurting other people. I know he is obviously "different". I want to believe all the obnoxious things he does is because he can't help it. I'm sure most of the things he does is because he can't help it. But I want to make sure that he truly can't help and is not just choosing the easier path of losing control of himself. I don't want him learn that when life gets hard you just give up and let whatever feeling you have take over. No amount of medication or therapy is going to cure him, and he needs to be prepared for hard road ahead of him. While hes still little I can protect him. In a few years hes going to have to be accountable for his own actions. He needs to learn to handle himself before it to late and hes going to have a much harder time doing that then most kids his age. I really don't think NOT implementing consequences for his actions is the way to do that. He has learned that "if I pick up a chair like I'm going to throw it, I get to leave class". or "If I run off I get to go with the counsler". and "if i hit someone they call mom and I go home". All these things are his way of getting out of a situation that he does not like or feel comfortable in. The school is doing a great job at trying to make him feel comfortable there and really theres not much else they can do in the way of discipline. On another note- 4 days back on abilify at the increased dose and hes begging me to help him clean his room so he can have his computer back :) Normally he would of been flopping on the ground like a dying fish because its "to hard, to much, or he was sick".
