[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 726406, member: 1550"] Is he receiving interventions for autism? I have a 24 year old autistic son, on his own, doing well but crazy obsessions are part of autism. And he may need them, I get it. But I would discipline in another way,likeale him work it off or cut allowance. Is your son in any autism intervention to teach him how to control himself? My son HAS learned how so it is possible. My son had tons of interventions and therapies and school help and it really made a difference. Honestly, if you met him now you would not think he has autism, but he does. Son learned to behave in a largely neurotypical way and learned the rules of life and that they apply to him too disability or not. Because of his challenges, when he misbehaved, it was much harder for me to discipline him than my other kids. Fortunately his autistic support system helped me. And my son's basic good nature and desire to do well. But I melted like a snowman in summer when faced with having to discipline him. It broke my heart. His team really held me up. And taught him. It paid off. Autistic kids need autistic specific help such as social skills classes, occupational therapy, physical therapy, school supports (which may include an aide) and maybe a therapist who understands autism. Regular theray is not as effective. My son is medication free. At times with certain people medications can help, but often ADHD medications make them even worse. I hope you find your answers.
