[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 494751, member: 3907"] Poor Eeyore. We've found that this is one of the hardest things to teach. My difficult child still does things like that at 22, and we haven't really found an effective way to teach the nuances of socializing, so instead we've put in place some basic rules: - no phoning before 10 am (12 noon on weekends) - no phoning after 8 pm - no dropping in unannounced on people - we (parents or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff) must confirm all invitations before difficult child can go... - etc. etc. etc. Over the Christmas Holiday, he announced that he'd been "invited" to spend the day with his friend A, who lives 2 doors down from us--they've known each other since they were about 5 and A is very understanding of difficult child's difficult child-ness. Per our standard procedure, I asked to see the text message. Turns out difficult child had sent a text asking if he could go over but hadn't received a reply yet. If I hadn't intervened, he would have arrived on his friend's door step uninvited and unannounced at 8:00 am. Sigh... [/QUOTE]
