[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 456318, member: 11791"] Ditto. He's NOT just being manipulative. Even if he is not on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum - many kids have "clinically significant findings" but "do not meet diagnostic cut-offs"... so, it can still be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-type traits even if he never qualifies as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspie... We're finding that its far safer to never assume difficult child is just trying to be difficult, etc. His needs have been ignored and/or trampled on for years, by everyone in his life - because none of us (parents, teachers, doctors) knew what was going on. As a result... he's more testy, more hyper-sensitive about relationships, needs way more interaction. When we stopped fighting this and put the focus on relationship-building (massive time-intensive undertaking...) the behavior problems have taken a nose-dive. The only time you can "ignore" difficult child is when difficult child is sleeping... and even then, you have to be like the old sheep dog, and sleep with one ear open! [/QUOTE]
