This is all really helpful advice. Thank you. I do think it helps for him to feel in control. I am pretty good about giving him lots of reminders and warnings when we are about to leave the house for example, and that seems to help for the most part. A schedule would probably also help (both of us, really, as I could use some daily organization). I do also think he seeks praise. Often, he will ask at the end of the day if he was good that day. It breaks my heart. We did get another appointment scheduled for Tuesday at a well reviewed center. I'll look up Child Find as well as the parent classes you suggested. Thanks again![/quote]

In addition to schedules, I would also encourage choices instead of orders - do you want to wear the green shirt or the blue shirt? do you want me to dress you or do you want to get dressed yourself?  instead of get dressed! It can be a bit challenging to always come up with choices on the fly, but it gets easier the more you do it.

Also, including kids in the household jobs can keep them from being disruptive.  My ADHD kid loved to help me cook at a young age. It really provides a lot of self-esteem.  Was I good today? Can be answered with - yes, you helped me collect the trash (or whatever). [/quote]

NP.
I just want to add that you will have to plan for things to take longer and you will have to allow for more time for things to get done.[/quote]
