[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 258347, member: 1233"] I know you want to treat him the same. It just won't work. been there done that with my own Aspie. You MUST come up with other ways to parent him. He does need structure and help. He simply ISN"T like other kids. His BRAIN works differently. It DOES explain his behavior, but it isn't an EXCUSE for his behavior. Some kids do use it as a crutch. If you could get away with it wouldn't you? Most people, esp kids, would. REad the Explosive Child. Also look into the Love and Logic book for special kids - you can find it at [url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] . As for his undescended testicles, get him to a doctor NOW. My son had 1 testicle that didn't descend. We had to have it fixed before he was 2 to prevent future fertility problems as well as other problems. It is NOT good that it waited this long. As it is he will have to have a full workup to see if he is fertile and what, if anything, can be done to fix any problems with this. I am sorry his mom didn't see the need for fixing this when he was much younger. This is hard stuff to deal with. Take it slow, stay as calm as you can and keep checking in here. Sending LOTS of support! [/QUOTE]
