[QUOTE="mommabear34, post: 706115, member: 21243"] Thanks Susie, we have looked at the love and logic books, actually his dad does a lot of research and reading on how to help our son better... it's just following through with consequences that he's still having some trouble with... but as our little guy gets older and becomes more obviously defiant (especially towards his dad) he's realizing how important it is to stick to our rules and stay united in front of him. But The Out of Sync Child Has Fun book I haven't heard of so I will look into that as well. We currently have a bunch of books and videos coming from Australia from a doctor who has specialized in autism spectrum disorders since 1971 and are eager to receive them.
