[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 228047, member: 3419"] Wow, does Timmy ever sound like my son! Almost to the letter!!! One thing we did that has helped immensely is to practice transitions, particularly during computer game. difficult child would totally melt down if he had to leave to the computer and eat dinner, for example. So we practiced setting a timer at 30 min. intervals, and shortened it to 15, 5, etc. We also practiced warnings such as 1 min., 30 secs, before his 30 min. was up. He would get a reward if he did well. (It's been a while now; I can't recall what the reward was.) In regard to his thinking that someone is talking about him, some aspies can be hypersensitive to others' comments. Not that he is aspie, but boy, he sure sounds like it. I read a humor skit a few yrs ago that was a conversation between two aspies who were dating and it was very funny. They both took everything too personally and pretty soon the conversation just flew out of left field. (I think it was written by an aspie.) Best of luck with-weaning off the medications. I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
