[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 543294, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! You can pretty well take any insights you have about "normal" parenting and throw them right out the window. Any of that "Well, I was raised to...." is not going to help. Aspies are very, VERY literal and they do get stuck in certain patterns. Changes/transitions are a big problem for them and that is where you are likely to see difficult behaviors, up to and including violence. Very clear communication is key. Say EXACTLY what you mean. A phrase like "Knock it off!" means nothing (knock what off of where???). And if you say something is going to happen, you must be prepared to make sure it happens. No - [I]Oh well, we had to change our plans[/I]... Others will be along with more advice - but this is a start. [/QUOTE]
