[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't know if you are doing everything because you don't have a dx.

You are asking the wrong people if it would make a difference.

You are struggling to parent your child as he is now, with the non-typical struggles that he has.  You need more information in order to make choices in how to proceed.

Put a fence around your yard. Forget about time out completely, that is not a discipline method that will work.

You, your ds and your family need real help. Getting a dx is step 1.  I don't know if your ds has autism and I am not saying he does. I am saying that you need more information.

+1 I agree with this op (I’m the poster that just recommended a therapist to get you beyond time out). Punishments etc are not likely to be a good approach here (honestly they aren’t that effective with typically developing 3 year olds even). I’m not saying this is because you are doing something wrong - I’m sure you are trying so many different things, but maybe someone can help with more tools. [/quote]

The running away outside our yard thing was just an example.  There's a million things like that, and you can't prevent all of them (e.g., should I stop bringing him to the playground because he'll run away?).

FWIW, pretty much everyone has always told us to focus on redirection.  That just doesn't work on him.  He's incredibly stubborn and persistent, which I sort of love about him, but it is quite challenging right now.
