[QUOTE="endofmyrope, post: 74635, member: 3439"] I know you probably already heard this before, but I have to entertain the hope that someone can gain help from my mistakes. My son 17 has been diagnosed since age 7 (I had to tell the doctor what I thought it was and there was my referral to a good head doctor). He has put me through the ringer. This summer was a turning point he has come around, although he is not as mature as I would think he should be (I am a Occupational Therapy Assistant so this is part of my job to know these things, harder as a parent) but he has come a long way. Don't get me wrong he is still hard but my reactions to his behaviors has changed which in turn changed his reaction to my reaction ...... I have begun making each and every demand a non issue, as a matter of fact every once in a while I say yes just to throw him off. He now asks "I know your gonna say no but..." if I say no in the store he just stomps off and I pretend he belongs to someone else. Or I just refuse to take him anywhere with me at all. Maybe he is just growing up in his own individual way but these new tactics seem to be working for me, he wanted the reaction from me and when I stopped giving him that the behavior lessened. Good luck with your child and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and by the way get that husband on board same page, same response to each situation and life might get easier for you.
