[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 254466, member: 3907"] Sharon, I feel your pain. My difficult child does the "right, Mom?" thing too. He also does what I've labelled the "conversational gambit". They've been working with him a lot on conversation skills at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He's starting to get a handle on the give-and-take part of conversation, but he still wants to direct everyone's choice of what to say and makes leading statements. difficult child: "Mom, you look very pretty today." Me: "Thank you." difficult child: "Mo-om." Me: "Yes?" difficult child: "You didn't do that right. You're supposed to say, 'And you look very handsome' " And then he'll follow me around until I actually say those words. Toto, I also get the assorted noises. High-pitched squeals, foot tapping, spinning, aimless picking up ad putting down of stuff... Sigh... [/QUOTE]
