[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does she still have her phone? [/quote]

We tried to take it but she refused to hand it over. Ultimately we decided it wasn’t a hill to die on. There’s just so many other battles[/quote]

I just wanted to chime in and say that I feel you on this, OP.  We have a 17 year old son, diagnosed with ASD, given a gifted designation based on state testing as well as the ACT and HSPT, but would not participate in neuropsychiatric testing.  
We are also having a lot of trouble with the phone, and he will not give it to us.  We eventually turned off his line, but he was still on the wi-fi, so we turned off the wi-fi in the house (meaning the other kids had to go to the library or coffee shop to do their homework).  DS still managed to steal the neighbor’s wi-fi on occasion, or he would download movies and podcasts on his phone while he was at school or the library and watch them at home.
  
So, he was still on his phone all of the time, only we had no internet at home, AND I couldn’t call him or text him.  So, not only didn’t it work, it was really a headache for me.  Eventually, we came up with some excuse of something he did well and we gave him his phone back.  It was all just a lot of wasted effort at best.  (Well, except that the other kids are REALLY good about following the rules surrounding their phones.  They don’t want to get the internet taken away again!)[/quote]
