[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 13, is on the autism spectrum, and had braces put on about six months ago.

The day we had the braces put on, he had a meltdown the entire day. I had hoped that would be the end of that, but at each adjustment appointment, we find no less than three or four brackets were broken off, and broken wires twice. I am very certain he is either popping them off at school somehow, probably getting a hold of food and snacks he is NOT supposed to have!

I am infuriated with this boy. He doesn't care. He does not think he needs braces. We paid 5,000 dollars and in return, he has something to ruin when he gets mad. I refuse to let him go through life with his teeth like that, though. He has a really bad cross bite and crowding, and are just too horrible to leave alone.

He is on a soccer team, and I threatened to pull him off if he doesn't take care of his braces and tells me he does not are and to just go ahead and do it. The problem is that it is the one thing that I found to get him to regularly exercise, so I really do not want to do that.

How am I going to get thorough this with his attitude?[/quote]

You don't want to pull him off soccer. But you threatened to and he called your bluff. This is why he doesn't respect you.[/quote]
