[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 602318"] There are some ideas that the autism specialist suggested and they did work. There are other things she suggested that haven't worked. With difficult child 1 though nothing worked for years until he went to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Before that I had to listen to my mommy gut. So we did time outs for years without seeing any improvement because that is what my mommy gut said he needed. We fought the food issues even though that could've made it worse. We medicated. We did natural consequences when ever possible. And ya know what? After years eventually it started to work. I don't know if it is because he just needed more time or what. And we aren't out of the woods by a long shot, but we are much better off than we were a few years ago. With difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 the diagnosis helped direct us to what would work. With difficult child 1 it didn't. When I suggested they write things down I wasn't saying the child should be in that mtg. I thought it would help him and his girlfriend get on the same page.
