[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest has HFA. He is frequently difficult and unpleasant to be around. As much as I can, I take those times to help him reshape his behavior to something more socially appropriate. He doesn't want to be a jerk. He just doesn't know how to act and he doesn't know how to learn behavior from observation.

I am not 100% successful with this strategy. Sometimes I just want to drink wine in the bathtub and be left alone.  :lol:

Constistenly reshaping bad behavior into appropriate behavior is exhausting. He's going to 13 soon, though and it is having very positive outcomes for him.  I feel good about that. I also feel like I've been parenting a toddler for the past 11-13 years.  [/quote]

Did I write this? I don't think I did because my DC is 10, but somebody got into my head and wrote down my thoughts! Oh well to be honest, this doesn't completely sound like me. I do what you do with trying to reshape, but every now and then I lose it and yell and I hate to admit, as long as it doesn't happen often, it is effective. Hang head in shame for my bad parenting...[/quote]
