[QUOTE="buddy, post: 541631, member: 12886"] Glad you found someone who is familiar with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) if you are thinking Asperger's. Yeah, behavioral psychs just dont do as well when it comes to kids who are differently wired. rewards and consequences work if a child has the skills they need and are simply choosing or needing motivation to do better, not generally super helpful if they just make a child want to do better but the child has no clue what to do or they sometimes do know, but their brain chemistry or structure makes it so they dont have access to good impulse control or good judgement or are chemically not in balance so have moods that interfere....etc. For some kids they just dont care about rewards and consequences. My son will promise to do the right thing, will want the rewards and then fall apart because he is unable to do differently. He then will just rip up behavior charts or fall apart. I know this is not everyone's opinion but for us it is truth. [/QUOTE]
