[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 58997, member: 1835"] Traci, thanks. I know this is best because, undoubtedly, if he's still having problems dealing with the various frustrations (authority figures, rules, etc.) in his current setting, he's going to have the same problems once he's home. He continues to think if he keeps trying to negotiate, he will convince people to do what he wants. This has obviously worked for him in the past but doesn't in his group home. You'd think, after eight months, he would give up. But, he can be a VERY persistent individual. The one thing about my son that stays consistent is that he's a very "what you see is what you get" kind of person. If he thinks it, he says it. NOT always a very good idea, but, I'd much rather have him being honest about how he's feeling than doing the "brown-nose" thing to get himself released sooner and then coming right back home to his old ways.
