[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 292382, member: 7371"] I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Sometimes the medications give our kids a "biological pause" so that they can learn to think about their response (and, ideally, calm down) instead of just acting on impulse. There probably is a difference between the impulsive, acting-in-the-moment kind of aggression and the deliberate, calculated kind. But they both need to be discouraged. As he gets older, bigger, stronger and more hormone-driven, the impulsive aggression can be dangerous. Trust me, I've experienced it with my difficult child. (He's not on the spectrum, but has extremely low frustration tolerance and high impulsivity.) The whole trial-and-error thing is so difficult. I can empathize with you there -- been there done that! (((Hugs.))) [/QUOTE]
