[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less focus on changing the behavior, more focus onchanging your reaction to his behavior. Learn positive discipline also read 123 magic to get you through. ADHD and aspergers in the family and a rigid, wound up child...get an evaluation thru a private psychologist or Childrens to investigate so you can move forward in the most productive way.[/quote] 8:00 here. I think that there may also be some anxiety at work, it is often comorbid with things like AS and ADHD (many AS kids have ADHD as well). I'd post in the SN forum for names of good psychologists, if you go to a teaching hospital KKI is better than CNMC for this kind of thing. It takes a while to sort it all out and ultimately medication for anxiety or attention coud be really helpful. Again, we've found Dr. Horen at Georgetown super helpful, I think he takes on new patients at this time of year. He works with lots of these inflexible kids and can then give his insights to a psychiatrist/dev ped. The Difficult Child has a lot of good info on anxiety and attention issues. The log that they recommend you keep was very helpful to evaluators and to us. It really helps you have a different framework, it separates out temperment from behavior. Using TDC we started acknowledging and empathizing with things like sensory issues, which are temperment. Didn't make them go away but did deescalate the tension and stopped the constant spiraling. Also helped repair the relationships a bit. It was by far the most helpful book, it really helps you have a different way of seeing the interactions and understanding your kid. [/quote]
