[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 56957, member: 3211"] Well, I guess I'm glad to know that it's not just me. I know that difficult child cannot help himself - that it's something that hopefully will come with time - we do not punish, but in some circumstances, I try to use a story from our own history - such as a particular time I had to leave a restaurant with each of the munchkins - difficult child and easy child on separate occasions when they would not quiet in a restaurant, etc. I like the "random" response idea, Marg. Perhaps I will try to come up with one and give that idea a shot. smallworld, when we first started out our journey with difficult child the very first doctor evaluated him and suggested AS. Then, that was discarded along the way for several years - psychiatrist & therapist have just begun revisiting it as a serious possibility. He has many of the tendencies. TrishBC - our difficult child does that with smoking, too - and with drinking a beer or two. He says loudly something to the effect that he has no idea why anyone would do that, etc. I think part of it is just frustration on my part. difficult child will say these things to toddlers, easy child, peers, teens and adults. He's absolutely an equal-opportunity comment maker. His tone is so inappropriate - and disrespectful when directed at adults - that he comes off as a rude punk sometimes. On the other hand, it makes me feel bad for him because he is not like that, really, at his core personality. Thanks everyone for posting. [/QUOTE]
