[QUOTE="Confused, post: 657549, member: 18100"] My daughter is still being tested for Asbergers/Sensory and Anxiety, ... but does not antagonize her brother. Her brother antagonizes her, as he is ADHD, Sleep Issues, ODD, probably Bipolar (still being tested also) etc. Daughter is home schooled with Keystone but lacks the motivation and I think its overall hard for her, but still better then school. Like Somewhere mentioned schools are a good help most times, Apple is correct for support groups, but my daughter still couldn't handle it even at a specialized school. Daughter/Son had a neuroeval and he suggested a trade for them, nothing like regular college because the work and understanding that goes into it is complicated for them ( I believe thats why he said that need to re-read it) In her head maybe shes ok with herself and knows we do not feel the same, and feels the need to lie, or she doesnt understand something going on, or doesnt see the point. Not saying lying is good, we need to break them of that. My daughter rarely lies but has about schoolwork, showers.. As many pointed out to me, she may not be able to or see the point of schoolwork or chores( my daughter says she didnt make the mess so shes not cleaning it) I have not been perfect and gave in to my kids, changed rules because something wasnt working. Try the most important rules first, schoolwork, health, dinner time, being respectful. Helping out will come and see what they are willing do before you just assign them chores or other things. If its to much of an issues, just give choices in pairs, one or the other, keep solid with it. Thats what Ill be doing again! I also agree not to take away to much time with their friends, they need them to blow of steam, and I don't know about your daughter but mine is hard to get in the right" mind frame" to go out and shop with us let alone with her friends. I just told my kids that my/our way to live better here may need some fixes along the way, but when we find it, we will keep it. I wish you luck, and try to talk to them on their level or making a family night of little ways to get get them to talk is helping me a little more again. Im sure you do. ( I always did that but, takes time and practice not to overdue it with the talking!!) Im still looking for answers and ways to improve things. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
