[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 681366, member: 11791"] I agree with Pasa. If it was strictly willful behavior, then things like rewards would have some impact. Punishment doesn't always have an impact, especially with non-neurotypical kids; most high-functioning non-neurotypical people have some level of reward response. I'm wondering if some of these "awful" behaviors are part of "shutting down". The future is so scary, that he ends up not even coping with the minor daily tasks of living... such as flushing the toilet. Black-and-white thinking may be at play, too - if he doesn't believe he can do ALL of it, then why do ANY of it? [/QUOTE]
