[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 681563, member: 6705"] GG1958, I really appreciate your point of view! The problem as I see it is... This is totally different from all the other issues we have had in the past. There are a LOT of accomodations we have made - for instance, on the chore list it doesn't say "clean the bathroom". It has that, and then numbered steps below. 1. scrub toilet 2. wipe outside of tank and bowl if needed 3. wipe out sink 4. wipe off counters 5. clean mirror 2x a month 6. rinse/scrub tub 6. sweep floor 7. mop floor... It's literally spelled out. Each chore is like this. Whenever we ask him to do something, we write down steps, or just ask one-step things at a time. We've tried advocating with the school, and he is included in IEP meetings, but he won't advocate for himself - which is the day to day. We've gotten calls from the school when things happen... He used to complain to us that people didn't like him, but nothing specific and no one specific, and when he was bullied he would not tell anyone WHO was doing the bullying. The one time he told us and we got back with the school, he came home with a black eye and threats. I've asked, Bill has asked, Belle has asked... WHAT can we do to help? TELL us what is going on, what you're thinking, we can brainstorm together. Nope. Used to be, if you asked him to help he was all over it. Suddenly, he was uninterested in helping anymore. I swear, the red flags for substance abuse are there but I would bet my pay that's not it. [/QUOTE]
