[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 229605, member: 3419"] Hi Chipotle, welcome. Here's a margarita and some chips. (With a name like Chipotle, I figure I'm in safe territory.:) ) Your son sounds a lot like mine. I like your idea of drawing a picture of flushing the toilet. My son reacts well to written notes and pictures and balks at verbal instructions, too. My son did not learn to tie his shoes until he was 7. I finally gave up and only bought velcro, but then he was on soccer and baseball and basketball teams and we had to buy laced shoes. The neighbor boy finally taught him, or at least, he was ready to learn from the neighbor at that point. :) I have no idea why that day was different. Try reading Asperger's Syndrome and Difficult Moments. The book really helped me, even b4 we had a diagnosis. It's got good ideas for all kids. Does your son like to tear up books? My son used to tear up our very best books, and ruined all the books and tapes in my car. One day, I had gone in to my husband's for a chiro adjustment and difficult child refused to get out of the car. When I came back out, I found difficult child in the back seat, paper shredded at his feet and all over the carseat. I asked him why he was doing that. "It relaxes me," he said. I gave him several old phone books to use when he was raging. He didn't like them as well as paperbacks. Arrrgh. He's kind of gotten out of that stage now. The medications really help. And the therapy helps (breathing exercises, walking away, and just plain maturity). Anyway, welcome! [/QUOTE]
