[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 235271, member: 3419"] ML, you mean, it's a little thing to you? It's a big thing to us. To clarify, do you mean, he uses the toilet, he, your difficult child or our difficult child? Sometimes our difficult child does, sometimes he hits the seat, sometimes he hits the floor, sometimes he uses the sink downstairs. I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes and I was blaming some of it on the dogs. I lost two huge corn plants this winter because "the dog" was lifting his leg on them. I scrubbed the brass pots and bleached the insides, but it still smelled. Well, I [I]think [/I]it was the dog. LOL. I absolutely refuse to believe that the dog goes in the downstairs bathroom sink. He's a big collie but he's not [I]that[/I] big! The house stinks. It's unsanitary. And, it turns out that not only did difficult child lie about the juice pkt, but he missed and got it all over his sister's toothbrush and other items on the bathroom countertop. (Maybe that will teach her to put things away!) MWM, I don't know yet whether my son will need assisted living. He's only 12. But it does make me wonder ... I DO mind living with-my son. I love him. He can be funny and clever. He's cute. Gorgeous, actually. But there are so many other odd things, that it really disrupts my train of thought. He still has a poor sense of boundaries and I have to lock my office door and hide a lot of items. I have taught myself many alternative reactions, behaviors and ways of thinking. Still, he's not easy to live with. For example, the other day when I went to lock the door, he had his hand there and I nicked him with-my fingernail. He roared at me. You'd have thought I stuck him with-a cattle prod! I did the same thing with-easy child the other day and she hardly even noticed. I apologized profusely and she looked at me like I was nuts. Anyway, it does look like this is part of his Asperger's. :) He's inside of himself and has to learn that he operates in a larger world. [/QUOTE]
