Re: New to the group and need advise on breaking toys and not talking when punished.

An idea: Find out what is triggering the destructiveness and see if you can get

to the root of the problem.

Also, others may have different opinions about this, but " punishment " usually

doesn't work for kids on the spectrum. They have a hard time understanding

consequences that go with an action - even natural consequences. Everything

must be explained in detail. When I started to understand this, things got

easier with my son.

I would highly recommend the program called Positive Discipline. They have a

website and the book by the same name is by Jane .
