[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 603389, member: 3419"] Great ideas here. And I get it! Ducky8888, you seem to be doing all the right things. I agree, the consequences should be natural, no matter how big or small. And they should not be determined by his potential outbursts. We've had plenty of holes kicked/punched into our walls, and plenty of rages, and once difficult child realizes we will not back down, he does change. Consistency and follow-through are the keys. I understand your girlfriend, but she's got to live through a few rages to make the changes stick. He knows he can get away with-stuff. You sound like a whiz, building and locking things. I have to hire people for the simplest of door locks. ;) And it does sound like your difficult child is on the spectrum, because he doesn't "get it" when it comes to "seeing" things, like messes on the floor, broken tools, etc. You have to explain. Every. Single. Thing. Step. By. Step. It is wearing and wearying. But it works. [/QUOTE]
