[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 650485, member: 3068"] You could use the reward system. She can have an hour on the computer if she talks to therapist for an hour, etc. You are the one that should be in control, not her. If she gets out of control because she doesn't have computer use, call the police for help. There seems to be some reason she doesn't have a social life other than on her computer. I know how hard it is to say "no" because of the argument that it will start but she's not going to change unless you stop letting her be in charge. I've been there, having to step up and say no. It's hard. Very hard. But, it helped us get our son the help he needed. He's so much better now. Still has a bit of an issue once in awhile but thinks it over on his own, realizes what caused the problem, and will talk it over. He also does things for us, all on his own. He no longer stays in his room the whole entire time he is home. He will go out and shovel or do something else around the house for us without being asked. He stops and talks to us. He cares now.
