[QUOTE="Andy, post: 398419, member: 5096"] Welcome! I am so sorry your day was less then nice yesterday. Since your son likes to stick to his plan, you may want to try tightening the structure of his day. Does he do fine in school and show more of this behavior at home? If so, he may respond best to structure. So, he can help you set up a daily plan for each day of the week. Take old magazines and he can cut out pictures showing what is going to happen through out the day. Make a chart with the time listed and a space next to the time to write what to expect and a place for him to put a picture to remind him in a visual way what will happen. Example (change times for your home needs): 7:00 Get up 7:30 Get ready for the day (clothes, brush teeth, ect) 7:45 Breakfast 8:00 Leave for School And so forth......... For the weekends and non-school days, breakdown chore times, playtimes including video, t.v. times and activities with mom & dad, snack times and meal times. In this day and age having a structured daily schedule really is a challenge but try to stick to meals at the same time as well as bed time - lights out- at the same time every day. This may or may not work, but it may be worth a try if you haven't already. Others will be along soon with more input and questions such as has he had a neuropsychologist exam, has his behaviour been diagnosed, is he in therapy or seeing a psychiatrist? All things that will help give even more direct help as those with the most similar experiences can share what they have gone through and tried. [/QUOTE]
