[quote=Anonymous]We have the same issues and it got quite a bit worse before it got better. Is there a receptive delay? If not, use Kadzin. If so, still do positive reinforcement and ignore negative, but we had to do a lot of other things too and it is brutally hard, kid is now 5.5 and things are a bit better. Note, he actually has tested as normal range receptively since around 4, but the delays lasted much longer in actual real life.

what we had to do: shadow him, use visual cues, redirect endlessly, ABA therapy which costs us arms and legs, which incorporates motivators. You have to be incredibly clear, consistent, and simple. These kids don't get nuances. No I can run and jump in at this pool, but not here. It has to be the same all the time.

We just started medication and things are so, so much better, but there are still issues like this. I will note that part of the reason we started it is because all of his interactions started to be like this. What is in the realm of normal at 3, a little off at 4, is suddenly just not acceptable at all at 5, and we had to help him.  A lot of these are impassivity of course. But if he lacks receptive language he is also not understanding what he can and can't do let alone why. So figure that out. Most kids with receptive delays are strong visually, so you can do things like hold up a stop sign.
