[QUOTE="agee, post: 345280"] Thank you for this. And believe me, I know he needs stimulation and we provide many, many ways to help him get it. The stimulation he most craves is interaction, particularly impassioned interaction (with us). And he will stop at nothing to get it. I don't just wake up and say - leave me alone. I am woken up at 5:45 and told to get out of bed, make breakfast, do this, do that. We make many suggestions of alternate activities: jump on trampoline, climb a tree, make me a picture, do your coloring books, legos, cars, etc. and everything is NO. He is 7 going on 8 but he can't do puzzles or games yet. With us or without us. This is not a skill he has. I've tried giving him chores so he can help us and make a little money but he won't do it. We've tried to prepare for the weekend by buying a special toy or bringing something out of the attic or making plans ahead of time and it really all seems to end the same. But I'll take this under advisement. And I have given notice at my job. So we'll have a whole lot less money but I will not have to spend much time on the weekend doing things other than focusing on him. This was a good weekend for the rest of the family. There was very little yelling and we all seemed happy. But his rages were worse. This is how it goes with us. He works hard to get us to engage and when we don't he is infuriated double time.
