[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 456308"] MuM, the overall tone of your post makes me think you are going through something right now. Those of us that responded to lovelyboy simply answered her question about it if could be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). No one said they should pussyfoot around the behavior or even tolerate it. Yes, he can be taught the skills but if, in her opinion, dad actually made things worse then he didn't TEACH anything. There are many differences even among kids with the same diagnosis. HOW you teach them matters. I have a son that was diagnosis'd with ODD for over three years. He was given every punishment in the book for not "towing the line". After all that and the appearance of SEVERE depression as a result of all the punishment, my son's diagnosis has changed to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The depression could have been prevented and during those years, I could have been teaching. So even though he has the same diagnosis as so many others the same age, we JUST started dealing with the behaviors in a way he can LEARN them WHILE trying to undo the depression and low self-esteem having an incorrect diagnosis has caused. difficult child couldn't "HELP" what he was doing. He hadn't been taught any differently. He IS learning now and things are getting better. I just wish I had known years ago because then maybe he would have been one of those kids that can easily be redirected and follows all directions. [/QUOTE]
