[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 544265, member: 14356"] TeDo - If I catch it difficult child can see it for what it is but he won't pick it out when he's being fed it, Know what I mean?? Especially if he is already mad at me, which he was. Insane - That is a very good idea. He is terrified of an Aspie diagnosis because of what he thinks Aspergers is - he thinks it is a sentence to being a social outcast, never having any friends, etc. - which is ridiculous because he does have friends. My sister's son is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie and so is my cousins son but their symptoms are much more significant than difficult child. I did talk to him about it last night and he has a better understanding that he is not like nephew/cousin in the severity of his symptoms but that some of his inability to cope and the way he is handling himself are Aspie traits. Now that could be overlapping Tourette's symptoms or ADHD symptoms because they share traits with Aspies. I think he felt a bit better about that but it is still bothering him because we had a discussion about it a while ago that it could be a possibility and he asked some of his friends and they all said they wouldn't be surprised if he was an Aspie. That really upset him. Terry - Thanks to you husband and I have a new mantra. Make 2 sandwiches and decide not to kill him. LOL. Most of the time when he starts getting to us husband or I will suggest going to the kitchen to make a couple of sandwiches - it breaks the tension for us and puts things in perspective. Not gonna kill him today! [/QUOTE]
