[QUOTE="busywend, post: 514633, member: 391"] Welcome! Sorry you had to find us, but glad you did! And you will be glad, too. One thing stuck out big time for me. You mentioned wants to know what is going to happen and when. This is part of his disorder and an easy one to help him with. Be sure to let him know what is going to be happening and when. Try not to sway from the plan especially with a punishment. For example, if snack time is 3:00 every day. And he gets sent to his room at 2:50. Call him out at 3:00 for snack and then send him back if necessary (had 20 minutes in his room and has to finish it for example). When you or husband tell him something is going to happen try not to have it change at all. When he calls you on it....'you said snack time was at 3:00 & it is 3:05'. Tell him 'you are right, I missed it let's have snack right away.' You get the idea. Just one thing that you can do to help make his life less stressful...and in turn...YOURS, too! [/QUOTE]
