[quote=Anonymous]My kid used to be exactly this (now a slight bit better but still has moments like this that remind me how hard it is). How old is your ds? Sometimes this behavior signals overwhelm, and inability to communicate, express or engage others. Therapy and meds (for the adhd) helped us a bit, and lots of talking and explaining and motivating). Even a bad reaction is a reaction and they seek that (from siblings, other family members, usually not at school where they try to keep it together but sometimes there too). Do not despair. Audhd brains prefrontal cortex develops a bit late, but I keep claiming he’s a good person (and when I fail in my patience, the therapist reinforces), and my ds tries when he can to actually do better. And when he can’t, we all have to forgive him, he has to say sorry and mean it, etc. Most days are hard and some days are really hard, but every now and again (and recently more and more often) there’s something he says or does that shows he understands and is trying to be nice and engage in a positive way. Get all the help you can get, do not despair, and prepare for a long haul of hard days and small victories along the way. [/quote]
