[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. We deal with something similar every morning. The only thing I have found is that disengaging and being supportive rather than fighting helps. Yes, we are a few minutes late to school, but getting upset doesn't speed things up, and if I am patient, we can end up 5 minutes late and everyone in a good mood. Sometimes it is more than that and we all get mad, but not usually. I would suggest working with the therapist more on it. We tried a reward thing where he got something for getting out the door on time. Punishment doesn't work for him, but that helped a little. Might be worth a try. I don't think the other PPs' level of concern on this is necessarily warranted - some people seem to be going with a nuclear option, but I think there is a way to make this work without anything too drastic. But I hear you on the getting angry part. It's okay to feel that way. Hugs.[/quote]
