[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 509567, member: 1991"] Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will dish back the same behaviour that is shown to them. Not that you're spitting or giving him the finger, but somewhere someone has been. You need to avoid making yourself the buffer between mother in law and difficult child because it will only look to her like you are spoiling him, being inconsistent and making excuses. By all means tell her, but be prepared for limited understanding. It is harder to accept that someone you love is hurting or is emotionally damaged, than to believe it's just something that will pass with good discipline. My mother in law has had a long time to learn about difficult child 3 (and difficult child 1 before him) but sometimes she still doesn't get it, she tries to handle things her way (directly against what we have shown her is correct) and makes a mess of it. Luckily as difficult child 3 has gotten older, he has also learned tolerance. Marg [/QUOTE]
