[QUOTE="AmyH, post: 168508, member: 4955"] Thank you. For years I have been trying to get through to him. From the time he was 4 I was told it was ADHD and that I needed to be tougher on him. All I feel like that has gotten me is more stress and him more aggreviation. He is a wonderful and brilliant kid, he so often fasinates me with the things he knows. But he is also very confused. His Bio-dad and I divorced when he was 3 and he now has a half brother who is aspie also. This is where all the testing came into play. Things are different there. Parenting is different. He started raging at his dads because his step-mom said someone in walmart stank. Well to him that is rude and uncalled for. He told her that she was wrong to say that and was really mad at her. This went into a rage his dad got mad and said he would slam him against the wall if he didn't stop. Nothing happened but they went to play basketball last wednesday and his dad talked to him about this and reinforced the wall thing. To me this is uncalled for, you don't do that to any child let alone one who doesn't understand why. I told Bio-dad this and of course he doesn't agree with me. He said my dad did it to me and I turned out OK! With Bio-dad's little aspie they yell at him alot and never get a real point across. My difficult child is so confused sometimes he feels as if step-mom is just mean to be mean. She has done things in the past that I have gotten really upset about. He hit him with a spoon on the arm and left a mark (just playing???), made him watch the 3 and 5 year old, talks down to him. Bio-dad did leave her once partially due to how she treated difficult child. She has since been diagnosis as bipolar and now bio-dad says she is better even though difficult child still comes home upset about how she treats him. I have told him he doesn't have to go but he loves his dad and wants to be with him. Asperger's is all new to me and there are a million books out there. I will get the explosive child. Does it deal with situations like this? [/QUOTE]
