[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 481245, member: 11016"] Yeah, I have (and his teachers have) discussed deep breathing, counting, walking away and talking to an adult when he feels an outburst coming on. It's just that...there isn't much, if any, warning when it happens. The stress of the weekend for him is that he gets to play with his only playmate--his 8yr old step brother. Carson's only "friend and playmate". So he is wired and wound up like an eight day clock. And the fact that for half of the week Carson is an only child. His little brother and older sister are triggers for him. Even when they are doing nothing (although his sister likes to poke the bear and see a show). The TV, I guess IS a trigger. Carson loves to say "I get the remote!!" Even when it is just us. And he will hold onto it like a lifeline. Carson gets to watch TV for about 2 hours (less if he has homework) after school. It is a "rule" that when Sweets (my husband) comes home HE gets the remote. This isn't a new thing... but it still upsets Carson to "hand over the remote". Most of the time we watch something that interests Carson, like shows about the Universe, Crock Hunter and the like. It's the idea of "turning over the remote" that upsets him most. Thanks for your ideas. I need to do the role playing thing with him... [/QUOTE]
