[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, would she understand if you explain the risks to her--that as she gets older, if she hits and throws it's not just a tantrum but a crime? She could get arrested, go to jail, get tased or shot by police. It's deadly serious that she learn to control this. And start planning with her for how she is going to work on building this skill--both for your own safety so you aren't injured by her, and for her own.[/quote] Yes, she does understand this and I’ve said it to her more than once. Her answer is that 1) she doesn’t do it in public and 2) it’s not her fault. Then she goes on a rant about how the police don’t understand Autism and need better training. [/quote] You need to work more with your DBT therapist on validation skills. What she is saying is clearly wrong and not acceptable. You don’t have to validate or even listen to it. You do need to set out clear rules (no violence) and enforce them. [/quote]
