[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 168548"] The two best things we are found that work (work is a relative word) is loads of structure and using words and language to address behaviors that he does not perceive as an attack (this took time to figure out) and worrying about reactions, not behaviors as much. I also work with him on making sure he really understoods what I said by repeating something important back in his own words. If it comes out verbatim from me, he didn't get it. We just have to live with difficult child having a different perception of reality. Besides the usual difficult child stunts, we also know to watch closely if a friend gets in trouble for normal preteen stuff; specifically to see if we will do what we say we will. [/QUOTE]
