So we go over the rules, he repeats them back to me, he answers my questions in a way that conveys he understands it -- and then boom, he does it again. And he seems just fine with us removing him from the situation. Its like he can't control himself when he is in the situation.


OP, this was not my HFA child's issue, but I've seen this behavior in plenty of ADD kids or kids with other impulse control issues with no other spectrum diagnosis. Have you explored any comorbidities going on at the same time>>

Hi -- I'm a pp who posted the above, not the op. My child does not have a ASD dx but does have other dxes.

OP here,

That's why it's really hard to give advice about which ABA excerises to do with some else child. I'm not a pscyhologist or certified I ABA. We are working Kennedy Kreiger. It took them 3-4 weeks to assess him. Their team meets abouT their clients everyday. Also if I hear another clinician say my child is comiplcated atypical case one more time, I'll explode. In other words, my may works well for my son may not work well for your child. Good luck!

yep. I'm so over ''your child is so complicated.''

Aba is abuse. You are teaching your child that he has no right to say no---what will happen when he needs to say no---will that be an option for him, or will he be conditioned to compliance?

Behavior is communication. Look at what he's doing: running off? What about the situation is so awful for him that he needs to escape? If nonverbal, consider AAC. If scripting, try to find the emotions/situations behind the scripts to look for meaning.

Please do not continue to torture your child.

PP must have experienced a bad ABA.
My DC is actually being taught to be assertive using ABA approach (including saying "no" to peers when they are mean or intentionally try to trick DC).

Same for My DC. He has calmed down a little this week and we figured out why he was going nuts. He finally articulated that feels he's bad a writing. He simply statement he was unable to do it. I knew that he sometimes gets overwhelmed visually buy I didn't realize hE thought he needed to fill an empty price of paper with text. As soon as I gave him a sMall post-it he did his work no problem. Once we figured out and praised for telling us how he was feelingNow we are going to try it at school tomarrow. Wish me luck!! Thank you all for your encouragement!!
