[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 596137, member: 11700"] Just to give another example, about 15 minutes ago, difficult child was watching a movie he's seen about 20 times. It went to commercial and I sat next to him and said I want to say hi while your movie is on commercial. I feel so guilt for always ignoring him all the time. He said to me "What movie?" I said "you know what movie. The one you are watching, Chicken Little." And I said to him, why are you asking questions you know the answer to? (fyi, we have been working on this with social stories and in everyday functioning, he must ask 50 questions a day that he knows the answer to) And he said to me, "Oh I thought that movie was over" which was a lie, because it was no where near over, and he knew that, he;s seen it plenty of times. So I said to him 'please stop lying." And he said "i'm not, I don't know what you are talking about." SO I just got up an walked away, and he freaked out screaming to come back, I can;t even talk to him or sit with im, he just tells lies and asks questions he knows. This is not a child that lacks to skills to hold a conversation. He can absolutely hold a conversation, but often just lies and asks questions that he knows the answers to. And so he screamed for 15 minutes, following me around the house, screaming...next time I will not even bother to start any interaction with him. I don;t know what we are supposed to do. He is on clonidine 0.15 mg every night. [/QUOTE]
