[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How To Talk So Kids Will Listen is a good resource. I"m not great at this, but I think as parents we just have to have the will and follow through to establish a rule and a routine. The rule is he washes hands every time after eating (only when hands are sticky gives too much space for negotiation). You commit that for two weeks, every time he is done eating you will escort him to the sink and stand there while he washes his hands. Any question is met with, "good question, we'll take about it when your hands are clean." After two weeks, you continue to give him a verbal instruction, but he should have a routine with a body memory.[/quote]

I found that book very naive. Do other kids really react to the techniques in that book? If your kid doesn't respond to talking or consequences there's basically nothing left in that book.

I really don't know how unusual my kid is. He scores pretty high on the autism screening questionnaires at the pediatrician, but subjectively is quite social so they mostly write it off.[/quote]

You know your child best. Pediatricians screen but this is not their focus and some kids will only be dxed by a specialist doctor.

Peds see kids for a brief amount at irregular intervals, it is nothing like a neuropsychological evaluation.  Kids are all different and autism presents different.

This comment is incredibly concerning.[/quote]
