[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 447989, member: 1991"] difficult child 3 is very social, he has always sought out other people. And he's beyond Asperger's, he's autistic. In Grade 1, difficult child 3's teacher was chosen because she herself has a child on the spectrum. I spoke to her before the start of the school year and said, "He will not be what you expect; he is different." She replied, "I live with it too, I do get it," I just said, "He won't be what you expect." At the end of the first day she said to me, "He IS different, isn't he?" Later in the year she tried to tell me he wasn't autistic, he was ODD and nothing else. I looked up ODD (it was the first I had seen it) and was totally incensed. No way - if difficult child 3 was being oppositional, it was because someone was trying to control him in ways he could not tolerate and which were not good for him. There are better ways to manage a kid like this, if you try to be stubborn with them, you teach them stubbornness. How you behave towards a child like this is how you teach them to behave towards you. Marg [/QUOTE]
