[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 247706, member: 1233"] Dr. Riley, This has been very helpful. My oldest child was VERY explosive and physically violent. He no longer lives with us. My parents took him on 3 years ago when he had to leave our home because I refuse to be beaten and even with intense therapy we couldn't get this to stop. My dad had just retired from teaching jr high, and my son was jr high age. My dad is an undiagnosed Aspie, so they really were quite a match. Now my son is rarely explosive, doing well in school and has plans for tech school next year and college the year after! Part of this was accomplished using methods from your earlier book. Now I have a 13yo daughter with chronic pain and a 9yo son with sensory integration disorder at home. They are usually only explosive with each other, but my younger one has real problems with "stinkin' thinkin'" He is clearly the smartest child in his class (not maternal bias, teachers from pre-K on have told us this) and now the other kids are teasing him and some are even angry with him for it. We are trying to make him see that it is NOT a problem with him, but with others. But after a long day at school, he often will explode if given a chore. Yelling, crying, etc.... He has the same chore daily (empty the kitchen garbage can) but reminding him about it can end up with a real explosion. I know it comes from the stress of a tough day with the other kids, but am not sure how to help him so that he is less stressed. He is NEVER asked to do homework or chores before he has a snack with protein and at least 30 minutes to unwind. How can I help him? Thanks so much! Susie [/QUOTE]
