[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 594645, member: 11791"] Just one perspective... He gets stuck. He hasn't been taught other ways to get his stuff back, so... he attacks. It's all he has. He doesn't get the connection between losing his stuff, and what he choses to do or not do. There is no logical link, and all the talking on the planet can't create one. This would be very typical of an Aspie... Not logical - losing electronics for not going to therapist. Semi-logical - if you can't go to the therapist, then you can't go play with friend, either. Logical? Think carrot, not stick. How can you get him there and cooperating? You have to figure out what HE is THINKING... and then adjust your response to address the thinking (rather than the behavior). How can you teach the missing skills? JMO of course. From the parent of a difficult child that everybody on the planet will tell you really isn't a difficult child and is just holding us hostage... that is, everybody but school - and they are now on our side because difficult child has done a major turn-around there on every single front. Other parents, your parents, your kids' friends' parents, teachers, doctors... they simply do NOT understand. [/QUOTE]
