[QUOTE="Sh4nnon, post: 529877, member: 14538"] [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times]Thank You all for replying, it means so much to me. I've had a HORRIBLE week with him :-( My husband and I are pretty convinced the full moon makes its our sons behavior worse. Actually I think we are that desperate that we are blaming anything.. Seriously I think I'm going to have a break down. I actually don't like my child. I feel evil, but I just don't. Ok.. So I want to add a few answers. We live in Michigan. I should note that both the psychologist & psychiatrist agreed that he doesn't have autism. Also, when he was about 17 months we took him to a neurologist (because I thought he had autism) he did an EEG on my son and continued to see him at 6 month intervals and didn't think he had autism. Also, his former Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has extensive training specifically for autistic kids. Not saying she is qualified to diagnosis, but I wanted to add that. The only kids she works with are autistic. So pretty much everyone he's seen agrees he's not autistic so I'm a little confused. I guess he could possibly be on the spectrum, but not have autism? I forgot which one of you mentioned the list idea. We did it instead of telling him he is not having breakfast until he gets dressed we made a list of this he had to do in the morning. We did this the past two days and it has worked SO much better.

I tired focusing on positive reinforcement ( earlier in the day he was playing nicely & I gave him some ice cream), but sometimes that doesn't seem to do much either. I seriously feel like he has me back against the wall and I have no way to punish him :-( Again I'm so thankful for all the replys thus far. It is so reassuring to know I'm now he only one dealing with his. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
