[QUOTE="1905, post: 216582, member: 2668"] Hi and I reeally feel for what you are going through. I also think you should never give him that negative attention, only positive. If he throws something, make him go over and pick it up, even if you have to go hand over hand to do it/. Do not show you are angry, keep a monotone face (fake it). When he is doing the right thing, THEN give him lots of positive attention. (Good job eating the right way!!!! Go overboard with that) If he doesn't get the negative attention he keeps seeking, he'll stop after awhile. I warn you, it does get a little worse before it gets better. He will stop seeking it when he sees it's not getting a response. He WILL start to love the positive attn though, at the same time. I work with autistic K-3rd grade and this is the behavior modification that we use, and it does work. Don't give up. Also I think you should just leave his laundry there on the floor, when he needs clothes he'll have to it the right way. Or you could have him work for something- what I mean is, take away something, and let him earn it. Like if he likes a certain video game, don't let him play it until he "earns" time on it. Maybe every time he picks up his clothes, that will allow him an hour. He'll want that, so he can be motivated to do the task. Don't ever let him play it at other times. Reserve it for the reward only. Just an example, don't buy anything, just take something he already has and enjoys. -Alyssa I really don't think he should cook his own meals, I agree that is isolating and would make a child feel unloved.
