[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 286249, member: 1991"] I would share what difficult child said with husband's sister, with emphasis on , "I don't want him to go home, I just want to know how to make him stop hitting." Ask his aunt for advice on what he should do. My strong recommendation - difficult child shouldn't try to step into a parental role at all, I found my autistics wouldn't take that at all, especially from another kid close in age. So developing a strategy ahead of time is the best way, especially if that strategy involves a combination of walking away and reporting the problem to his aunt. Not reporting in any aggrieved sort of way, just "FYI - he's hitting again, I have walked away for now." There might be another option of perhaps changing to a different game, after a short break. But te walk away could be of value - the autistic child learns tat if he hits, he loses someone to plau with. And it's generally a fallacy that autistic kids prefer to be alone - they often enjoy the companionship of others even though they often act inappropriately. THis desire to fit in and be accepted can be a really effective carrot. Marg [/QUOTE]
