[QUOTE="tiredbutblessed, post: 371305"] It's been a really long time since I've visited here. WOW HOW all this has grown!!! I can tell you this was my port in many a storms.. recently my difficult child behavior has become severe and I thought of this site! Right now(!) I really need to get this under controll and I'm at a loss.. my behavoral approaches are not working any more.. or possibly I need to refresh on the techniques. I feel myself loosing my ability to remain calm .. I guess I need to vent to a group that 'gets it'. .. a bit about us... I am a single mom (AKA.. severly underemployed, barely making it, burning the candle at both endes) to a typically well adjusted autistic 8 YO daughter. Till about 6MO ago she has responded really great to a restricted diet and controll of her many medical challenges (thyroid, medabolic, immunology, food and enviromental allergies and so on.. ) Keeping these things under controll has kept her autistic tendencies at a minimum... she is mainstreamed in a magnet school where she has scored at 99.9% for her age.
