[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 42265, member: 10"] Hi, in my humble opinion maybe he does care not to be controlled or manipulated by extrinsic motivation. The question is also does he feel for himself , if he does not care what happens to him , it is difficult to empathize with others and here I agree that depression could play a role. I would leave consequences out of the picture and try and reach out to him through dialog questioning and listening to him. Even idf consequences do motivate for most kids its short term and have to be in place all the time Some claim that ADHD kids lack intrinsic motivation and need medications and behavior mod to compensate. My problem with behavior mod is that current reseach says it undermines intrinsic motivation. I hope you solve the financial side and can get your child medical treatment Allan [/QUOTE]
