[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 665063, member: 1550"] I don't think our Difficult Child think we are at all confused. They know taking drugs and going to jail is not doing the right thing, even if they aren't neurotypical or have mental illness. I think they just like to push our buttons and get what they can and blame us for their bad behaviors. I learned a lot from having an autistic son. He knows right from wrong and that being in jail is because you have done bad things and that a bad thing is to steal, use drugs, hurt somebody etc. But when he did one of very few not good things in his life, he took our car to pick up a game he'd paid for at midnight. He has no license and doesn't know how to drive. It was the second time he'd done this (and the last). The cops brought him home and wanted to talk to me off to the side and he said, with the softest eyes, "He explained he's disabled and I hope you won't be too hard on him." A COP SAID THIS!!!!! Sonic was using the "I'm disabled" card and it worked!!!!! I was thinking, "Oh, yes, I'll go easy on him (sarcasm)." I was furious because he manipulated the cop. "Well...I was scared," he said. Non-Neurotypical doesn't mean stupid or doesn't think at all like we do completely, trust me. He was grounded for a year (just kidding) and let's just say he is lucky we are nice and he never used the car again because he is a nice kid too. But really!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
