[QUOTE="nvts, post: 63538, member: 3814"] Just an opinion (everyone has one, just like everyone has an...well, you know!): I have found that whenever someone has told me that they can control themselves "if they want to" I just about shut down on that person. See, why wouldn't they want to? Being shunned, disciplined, left out, ignored and ridiculed seems like fun? I think not. Kids like your difficult child really want to be accepted AND respected but don't know how. I'm reading a book right now (how I wish it was Harry Potter or something else [img]:smile:[/img] ) that's called "Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments". It's very insightful both for home and school. Basically it helps understand the stages of meltdowns, the types of behaviors, ways to avoid a "rage" episode, how to recover from a rage episode, and how to turn it into a learning experience. It's giving me ideas. As BBK often says I'm "taking what can help, and leaving the rest!" Also, when someone also says that a neuropsychologist is a waste of money, yet he still hasn't come up with a definative way to handle difficult child, it makes me feel that he's someone who's trained or who has more experience dealing with different issues (ie: divorce, death, abuse, etc. in the typical teen). Your son can't be a cookie cutter kid because he broke the mold ! [img]:thumb:[/img] It never hurts to check around! by the way: BBK: We're on medicaid and we found a research institute that does neuropsychologist's on a sliding scale. It was based on our taxable income of 2006 (nil!) and was very affordable (nil!). Try checking thru different research groups - most ins. co's don't know what they do, but we found a lot of talented people who were willing to help! Good luck guys! Beth [/QUOTE]
