Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I guess you can consider me new, however i've been reading many postsfor a long time. My name is Amie and my 9 yr old is an aspie/ADHD diagnosis. We had a horrible thanksgiving. I'm not sure how my son compares, he's a mild aspie and definatly knows right from wrong. However when my mother is around him, he does know wrong. I have done a lot of research on aspergers as well as ADHD. And he has symptoms of both, but his bad behavior is out of control. Please any advice will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Many of us know your stress. And sympathize. Without knowing any of the details, most behavioral problems respond to a very structured predictable day. It is a real skill to get to know what further escalates problems though. It is best to keep the consequences small so you don't further escalate negative emotions into rage. Ignore what you can and praise all positive behaviors. Other people will not understand the challenges you face and perhaps will think the problem should be solved with some very harsh punishments. Kids with issues almost always need behavior shaped over long periods of time, a harsh punishment will rarely change behavior and often creates aversive family life situations. This is what I have learned the past number of years working with a behaviorist. Pam > > I guess you can consider me new, however i've been reading many postsfor a long time.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Amie Welcome to the list. Holidays are often very hard for our kids to start off with. People are around that may not be around allot, excitement over the holiday and for my son he is off schedule. My son is also adhd and it is very bad adhd with meds. What are some of the things your son is doing, maybe we can help ~~~~~~~~~~Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
