[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 348734, member: 831"] Thank you all for the support and the invites :happy:! I wish finances would allow. Maybe someday (sigh). I do think I need to revisit the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In the past, his high social ability and lack of having obsessions seemed to always knock him out of that diagnoses. However, now that he has hit puberty, his odd thinking, anxiety, lack of boundaries is having me rethink the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). So, we went to my Mom's for dinner. We live on the same street and Son wanted to go play basketball at a neighbor's house. This gave me time to speak with my Mom. She doesn't really understand, but is trying. Son was late to dinner and we didn't wait to eat. Mom makes him a plate and we decide not to make a big deal. Son arrives 45 minutes late and is angry we didn't wait. He was rude and then made gagging noises when he found out what was for dinner (chicken and dumplings..yum). My Mom had to make quite an effort not to react, but she did it. He did manage a few bites and then said he didn't like this dish anymore. He was thirsty and just decided to take my Mom's glass of water without asking after drinking his own. I stopped him, and he was annoyed and rude as usual. Overall, when compared to the last couple of times, not a bad visit for Son. He did come up after dinner and whispered something in my ear. I couldn't make it out and told him to tell me again. He said he was afraid Gma would hear. He whispered again and said he was sorry for bringing the police to our house. I told him that I forgave him. He said he was mad about something at school (who knows what) and over the cell phone. When we got home, he began again about the cell phone. I didn't react or say a word. He then began to sob loudly saying he just loved having that phone so much and misses having it; was there anyway he could earn it back? I thought about it. Obviously, I have to use a different strategy parenting this kid. Time for me to do some research and get him in to a new psychiatrist. Anyway, I told him I couldn't talk to him until he calmed himself down. He told me he feels so sad and depressed over the loss of this phone; it's apparent that it means much more to him than just having a phone. Exactly what, I'm not sure. I didn't just want to give it back to him; I told him that we would see how his behavior is for the rest of the week and decide from there. Plus, he has to help me this weekend with taking down the book fair. One day at a time, I guess. On a good note, his report card came today. All classes passed and he made the honor roll again.
