[QUOTE="nvts, post: 295599, member: 3814"] I've been doing this "thing" with difficult child 1. I don't know if it will help, but he's an extremely "visual" (for lack of a better word) learner. He was doing this "cutting up" bit CONSTANTLY and it was driving me nuts! You have to keep in mind that Aspies do this sort of thing to "fit in" and be accepted. Even if they claim they don't care, most do. Well, I started cutting up when he'd ask me to help with his homework, talking on the phone, talk to me about an issue at school, etc. I'd let him get to a point before he got too frustrated and say "how did that make you feel?". If he couldn't tell me, I give him suggestions: angry, frustrated, mad, that he's being under values, treated with disrespect and not important. The next question? "Do you think that Mrs. So and So felt that way when you and whatshisname were horsing around?" It's sinking in, slowly, but it's sinking in! :winking: Good luck surviving the boredom! You're a better Mom than me! Beth [/QUOTE]
