[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 392805, member: 1991"] Repetetive patterns for whatever reason could certainly add to these problems. Perhaps the most important lesson to take on board in all this - it is futile to try to change what the child himself cannot change. It is hurtful and damaging to punish what he cannot change, or to offer a reward for what he cannot change. Above all else, you and the teacher both need to take this on board (I think you already have) and find another way. Because while alone he cannot change, especially if he has any Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) aspects, perhaps with help and coaching he may be able to make some progress. I suspect the reward needed will simply be his own, even partial, success. Very sad, when tat is all he needs to feel better about himself, because it shows just how little they are capable of doing this alone. It does not sound to me like he is doing this deliberately to shock and offend. Marg [/QUOTE]
