[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 229532, member: 3626"] First, HUGS! Sounds like you could use a few. My daughter isn't on the spectrum but she definitely showed no remorse when she was young. Consequences, rewards, dire threats of death. Nothing worked. If she wanted to do something, she was going to do it and if she was thwarted, rages could last for hours. Not a lot of fun. I do believe that a lot of times kids show no remorse when they're young because they truly don't understand that their behavior is painful to others. For my daughter, it was a combination of a lack of understanding and a refusal to show that she really did care. I found this out many years after the fact. She always cared but she was not going to let anyone know. It gave them a power over her and a loss of control for her. Here's another vote for The Explosive Child. It really can give you some insights into how their minds work if nothing else. by the way -- I wouldn't buy into a CD diagnosis this young. It is usually reserved for older teens. An 8 YO really doesn't have the understanding to have CD. He may be lying and stealing but that's more of an issue of not understanding that what's yours isn't his and the lying sure beats getting into trouble. When you're up to it, give us some specifics about his behavior. We might have a trick or two to help you. [/QUOTE]
