[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB. It sounds like they are doing evidence based therapy to deal with aggressive behavior - which absolutely would involve praising incremental improvements like voluntarily giving back items without hitting.[/quote]

I agree. I see that situation not as them praising him screaming at your kid but at praising the subsequent action of being flexible. I know it’s hard because you are the parents so you feel very protective and attacked.[/quote]

+1 it sounds like the parents are aware the kid has challenges and are actually being very mindful of how they respond. I have 2 NT kids that would have been punished for that behavior, and one not so NT kid that wouldn’t be. It’s not that I don’t hope for more for him, I’m just keenly aware of where he is right now.

As a parent of a SN child, I would advise the parents of the SN boy to avoid your family for the time being. Your child is younger and is not SN, so it is unrealistic to expect you to be understanding or supportive of their struggles.[/quote]
