[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474749, member: 12886"] Here is our weekend schedule for :difficult child 8:00 wake and make bed 8:15 eat breakfast 8:45 brush teeth/get dresssed 9:15 computer 10:00 walk outside these are all hypothetical...he may not be able to stop computer so maybe make that the last activity of the whole day?? even after shower/bath/tooth brushing pj time.???? keep same schedule for every weekend until it is very routine and he calms down. then you can add changes in a different color to show it and prep him the day before of the changes. IT seems elementary but it calms their brains down when things are so predictable. IT really helps my son to have a visual schedule. I even use a schedule within a schedule if we are out somewhere and certain t hings will happen....5 minutes standing in line, get tickets, get refreshments, etc. It is only an idea based on the fact that this is such a routine and predictable issue. It is a lot of work at first but the benefits for us of preventing an outburst before it happens have been great. Now for us having friends show up and ask him to play, that has interfered with the schedule and has made lots of upsets. I have to work on that with him now while he is in the hospital i fear. Clearly if it does not fit for you no biggie, just a thought. [/QUOTE]
