[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to look at your parenting and change something.  Kids go in phases of the favorite parent, but the rude behavior is not acceptable.  I would take away privileges (and dad supporting it - let dad do a time out or consequence if he is rude to you and your husband sees it and is home).[/quote]

Please go back to General Parenting.  You are posting to the SN board.  GP approaches don't really work with SN kids. [/quote]

OP here.  I really don't understand why you are so rude to this PP.  She's making a valid point.  If my child had mental or cognitive disabilities, then sure, taking away privileges wouldn't do a thing.  [b]But he clearly understands the difference between right and wrong, and is able to distinguish between emotions[/b].  [/quote]

It's a useless response for kids with HFA/ASD.  HFA and ASD involve delays in social communication and social understanding.  A child with an ASD does NOT typically understand that he is being rude or that he is hurting his mother's feelings.  He is also unlikely to understand how to fix it, once he does understand. If you want these kids to have good social skills, you have to explicitly teach good social skills on a step-by-step basis with an explanation of why it's important. You need to remind him and redirect him and reward him when he gets it right.  Punishing the child by taking away privileges because he was "rude" is punishing him for his disability.
