[QUOTE="keista, post: 435927, member: 11965"] 7y/o? I think you need to update your signature lol Based on the Asperger's diagnosis, my first thought is routine? Was this part of the usual routine? What is the usual routine, and did your son have any say in creating it? At 7 he should know what house rules are and what is and isn't acceptable, so it might be worth a try 'negotiating' a routine - of course during a calm time. This might give him the feeling of empowerment and "respect" he's looking for. At 7, my son came and asked if his bed time could be EARLIER. WTH? Yeah! Sure! Turns out he wanted to WAKE UP earlier to watch a particular TV show. OY. Getting up early in our house is a problem - especially for me. BUT he had the 'maturity' to get up and watch his show quietly until the rest of us got up. I'm aware it's a slightly backwards example, but I'm sure if I insisted on keeping his bed time as it was, I would have had my share of tantrums from him. [/QUOTE]
