[QUOTE="keista, post: 466830, member: 11965"] Just a thought on those routine flash cards. If there isn't already a provision, have "change" cards handy. Mostly for you and teacher. When there is an unanticipated change of schedule, you give him a change card. Ideally, you will have thoroughly prepared him for change cards, with instructions of staying calm and using whatever coping skills he has available to make it through the change. Fire drills, substitute teachers, etc. For days when you have planned changes, use sticky notes to make the change. That cookie/ball incident reminded me of DD1. It like a self created conflict they make for themselves and they cannot find any reasonable resolution. Often there isn't one because they desire two opposing things. In V's case he probably could have finished his cookie AFTER he rescued his ball, or finished his cookie and THEN rescued his ball, but if he's anything like DD1 (sounds like he is) he wanted both NOW, thereby creating the conflict. DD1 still does this. So far, therapist has been absolutely useless in trying to address this. Logical arguments/discussion/plans/ideas make sens when she's calm, but they don't work when she's IN the conflict. [/QUOTE]
