[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 550321, member: 3419"] They came home and we had a Come-to-Jesus-Meeting. difficult child is not getting back the keyboard and mouse AT ALL today. He said he has always done things to earn a reward. I told him I know that is typical Aspie but he is not a tiny kid any more, and we are moving into less concrete rewards (I touched the candles on the table) and into concepts (I waved my hand around my head). He cut me off because he hates it when I talk about him being an Aspie, so I reworded it and he said, "NO! I totally disagree. I still need things like the keyboard and mouse because that's the only way I will learn!!!" I said, "Too bad." husband jumped in and used many of the expressions and talking points that the therapist uses, but it did no good. difficult child got up and left the table. Then husband said, "I really resent how mean you were to me on the phone when you called to tell me to pick up difficult child." OMG. I hate having two boys to raise. [/QUOTE]
