[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 71029, member: 1550"] I've had two typical teen. That sort of defiance is NOT typical teen and now my son, who has a form of autism, is 14. My two typical teen and my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son were/are really nice, fairly well-behaved kids. In fact, in spite of a bad rap, most teens are pretty nice kids. Yes, they may try to smoke or drink a little, and of course they sneak out with boys or girls you may not like, but most respond to punishment and learn from their mistakes, try to do well in life, and have big hearts. Seems one day they're mouthing off (and I don't mean swearing at you) and the next day they're hugging you. My daughter was not a typical teen because of her drug use. Her behavior was really over-the-top. Extreme defiance isn't typical teen. Not caring about anyone's feelings or responding to any discipline at all isn't typical teen. I actually know a lot of moms who have very little trouble with their teens. In general, "birds of a feather stick together." If your teen is out of control, he won't attract nice kids. My daughter's friends used to scare me. I'd forbid her from seeing them, but...you know...at a certain age there's no way to forbid it 100% other than locking them in the house. And she wouldn't stay locked in the house either. Anyways, just clarifying that this behavior isn't typical teen. Take care (again). [/QUOTE]
