[quote=Anonymous]When you need a little break, can you direct him into a fairly solitary activity for a little while? Like, could you suggest that he spend a little while in his room reading or working on a project he's interested in, or could you ask him to do a small chore that might not involve other people (taking out/getting the garbage cans or something)? I would focus on enforcing the rules regarding not interrupting people and not talking when it's not allowed (i.e. while chewing, etc.)? You might also institute a rule at dinnertime or in the car or something where each person has a designated "turn" to speak about something that happened that day or something they're interested in talking about. You could try having some sort of "talking stick" that you pass around, and the person who has the stick is the one who has a turn to speak at that moment. I know that won't solve everything, but it might help in those situations.[/quote]
