[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 578843, member: 1233"] I haven't had this, but HAVE known a couple of families who did. The entire family was observed, then the tdocs (in home and the reg one) worked together to help make changes and see if they helped. The one family got upset because it was their opinion that the entire problem was their child and when the tdocs wanted the rest of the family to help and to stop egging some of the bad behaviors on or to otherwise accept that they had a role in the problems, well, that just wasn't okay and wasn't happening. The other family was more flexible, didn't get a lot of help AT FIRST, but stuck with it, showed the tdocs, esp the in home, how the traditional parenting stuff really made it worse, they made the therapist handle things when therapist insisted that something be done a certain way, and by working together, esp after the tdocs figured out that their traditional parenting steps were just not viable, well, things got a lot better. You have to be willing to make some mistakes, but that is life, in my opinion whether you admit it or not. Sure, the in homes may not have a clue. If you get one who is willing to learn, listen and think, it can be better than one who already knows how to deal with your issues. I don't think they really moved in, but were there several hours a day for maybe four or five days a week. The entire family couldn't hide their patterns for that long, so the tdocs got some clue of what really was going on. I think given the problems with your husband, the fact that the rules are changing drastically because you are not afraid of what h will do to the kids if/when he explodes well, this is a good thing. Esp given how different he is at his therapist's. It gives the docs a chance to see what is going on and how to help. You do have to make sure the therapist is literate in autism and kids who are not neurotypical. That makes a HUGE dfference. [/QUOTE]
