[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 358679, member: 3907"] I agree with smallworld. It's not anything you're doing wrong, it's his disorder. A neuropsychologist might provide you with some answers. And I'm going to pass on some advice that my difficult child's psychiatrist gave me and husband. "Don't ever ask the question 'why?'. Often they just don't know. Even if they do know, they'll either tell you what they think you want to hear, or the answer will be so convoluted and confusing that you won't be any further ahead in your understanding, but you will be much more frustrated by the process of asking the question. So don't ask." Truly, that advice has saved my sanity. We still address inappropriate behaviour and still provide natural or logical consequences, but I just don't ask "why" anymore because it breaks my brain. [/QUOTE]
