[quote=Anonymous]This is familiar to me, my DD is on the anxious/ASD side (though not actually diagnosed with either). Middle school years were tough, it got better in high school. She is very self-motivated, so we have a couple of things that are absolutely nonnegotiable, but we don't battle anything else, and it's gotten easier. For her personality, consequences did not work at all, wish I had figured it out earlier, natural consequences are it, and I have learned how to disengage/deescalate. When we stopped fighting over chores, she started doing more of her own stuff (laundry, cooking). Now, of course, the second child, formerly very chill, is entering the hormonal years and is now the difficult one. I found the book "Untangled" very helpful back when we were in the thick of it. Highly recommend it, for figuring out what's normal and what's a hill to die on. [/quote]
