[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 531060, member: 3419"] Thank you, Lovelyboy,and I'm sorry you just went through the same thing. [I]This really makes me wonder if they ever CAN?! [/I] I have often wondered the same thing. I spend hrs online, searching through Asperger's articles and hypotheses about the amygdala and hippocampus, and whether oxytocin would be a good hormone to prescribe to difficult child to make him feel warm and fuzzy, or if it would just make him go out and make a baby (lol!). Our therapist is a behaviorist, which is why he's into not catering too much toward the "why's" of behavior. He comes up with-ways to stop it and re-route it. He has known difficult child since he was about 4, so I trust him. He has given me excellent advice in the past. Some of his methods may be extreme but all I can say is that they worked. (Marguerite got on my case about deliberately driving difficult child around to different places until he raged, iow, changing course and deliberately instigating rages, and letting him cool down, and then doing it all over again the next day ... but hey, it worked, at least for running errands. difficult child is fine about that now. Just one example.) I think difficult child will "get it" in some respects, as far as what husband and I are doing now ... when he's about 40. I just hope I'm alive to see it. And that I won't be too bitter to appreciate it. He will not "get" everything but there will be "aha" moments. I've known enough Aspies to know that. [/QUOTE]
