[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you'd get very different answers from special needs parents than some of these responses saying you just need to change your disciplinary approach.

A neuropsych evaluation and parent behavior therapy are good ideas.

In the meantime, read Ross Greene and maybe Kazdin.[/quote]

OP, you are going to get much better feedback on the special needs board. The reason you are not getting anywhere with typical punishments is because it simply doesn't work with kids of a certain profile. Start with your pediatrician because that will get the ball rolling the fastest, but I agree that a neuropsych is in order. [/quote]

Not sure what you mean by “typical punishments” but Kazdin is written for NT kids with behavioral issues and also works for kids with ADHD and autism. The real work is figuring out what kind of behavior to punish, how to encourage replacement behaviors through positive incentives, and calibrate the negatife consequences. This can involve things like time outs or removing privileges for NT or ND kids. Our excellent behavioral therapist told us her approach doesn’t differ based on diagnosis; although she would refer us to a specialist if we didn’t make progress. We did make progress and incredibly quickly.

OP needs to be looking for behavior therapy in his area. Well trained behavioral therapists work with kids with ADHD and ASD all the time. Maybe stimulant medications will help but they are not a panacea. [/quote]
