[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 436438, member: 3419"] Hi Ktllc, welcome. My son was borderline Aspie, too, but now I can see that in many ways, he's full blown. Everyone is different. I went out and bought a cpl books on Asperger's b4 the diagnosis was definite, and I bought a book on bipolar (I love to read, wth) and found so many useful things in the books that they were both worth it. I ended up going back to the first Aspie book several times for ideas on how to deal with-my difficult child. One of the main things is to keep a consistent routine, especially with-bedtime. If these kids lose sleep, it's WWIII. The other thing is to try not to use the word, "No." It sets them off for whatever reason. Say, "Yes, you can have a snack just as soon as you finish XYZ," even if XYZ is much later in the day. It's the "Yes" and "No" they hear most clearly because their sense of time is warped by their inability to focus (usually ADHD). [/QUOTE]
