[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 693612, member: 1550"] Sorry. Confused you with another poster. I think you need to look into autism. Test him first before you take any classes for yourself. See what the neuropsychologist says, what is wrong and specific interventions to help him. This isn't about you. It's about his bring different and responding to the world in a different way. It IS Unlikely HE CAN CHANGE Without getting interventions It is not our faults. Our kids bring us here, not be causing we are lacking as parents but because they are wired differently and normal parenting methods don't work. Most of us have tried everything, including blaming ourselves a lot. My best advice, having raised an atypical child, is to get him diagnosed and helped through the community and school. You don't have to be a super parent for a typical child, but parenting becomes a herculean task and a constant battle when a child's mind is di#erect from a typically wired child. I hope you make that appointment. Made all the difference for my son. My typical childen were easy to parent. Not my autistic son. You didn't create a monster. He is just not like other kids. Here's a secret. Most parents with these relentless, impossible to parent differently wired kids DO give into them. You don't have a choice or they freak out in public and everyone looks at us expecting us to take them out of the environment. You are not alone. I stopped taking my autistic son to the store with me because if he got tired or I had to say no he would lose control and scream louder than a lion and disturb (horrify),everyone else. Sometimes I bought things to shut him ip...lol. He is 23 now and as calm, and sweet as a tulip, but he got a lot of help from early on. Never too late to try. He is still yoing. [/QUOTE]
