[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 53305, member: 2287"] Janet, my difficult child doesn't have a learned response unless it's from my screaming occasionally, out of frustration with him. I never, ever scream at him the first time I tell him something, or the second, or probably even the third. That comes AFTER he's ignored me or done whatever it is half-a***d. I have never tormented him nor thrown anything. I DO walk away from him and his antics and then he yells even more. For instance, over the weekend I told him to get on the other side of his bed to help me put clean linens on it. Now really, how difficult is that for a strapping 11 year old? He persistently acted like a horse's backside, so I walked away. I told him, YOU are on your own. He screamed at me and cried and acted like it was the end of the world. Some would say....let him sleep in filth, but truly, I stuggle with my house smelling! Since you weren't diagnosis'd till your late 30's, does that mean you were unmedicated all that time? How did you cope? [/QUOTE]
