[quote=Anonymous]I have a child who has the same diagnosis. She is also an incredible human being, despite some difficult challenges. Nothing will improve if your child is anxious in your like (or love) for him. You need to show him you accept him for who he is. Every single day give him 20 minutes where he picks what he does with either you or your husband (without the rest of the kids). For my DD, the strength of our relationship is the foundation for everything else.

Yes, you need rules and you need follow through. Can you get extra help? I can’t imagine working even part time without some child care. You need to take care of yourself so you can be consistent and kind. But I’m a believer in picking my battles. Safety, kindness and manner. That’s pretty much it. My kids can wear what they want and do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone and they clean it up later. I don’t have an image for what my life should be like. I encourage you to let that go.

In terms of advice, the Scaffold Effect is great for SN parents. Highly recommend. Best of luck. [/quote]
