[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 59171, member: 1835"] Well, DDD, I'm not all that certain my son has changed on any kind of significant level. In fact, based on how he often interacts with his therapist, the house staff, and his program coordinator in his group home because he STILL thinks he should be able to run the show if he talks a good enough story, I can easily predict that, once he's home, he'll probably be fired from one or more jobs because of his endless negotiating and, when that fails, his temper tantrums. Of course, this will be the bosses fault--not his. I can also see the above scenario when it comes to following our house rules. Or living with a room mate/s, or, fill in the blank... What I do believe he's learning is that the same consequences for breaking rules and laws applies to him as well as to others and that he could lose his job, friends, and even his freedom of choice if he decides to break them in the future. This might be as good as it gets for him. [/QUOTE]
