[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, parent with a child with HFA here. Please don't let your  child's diagnosis become an excuse for bad behavior. That is doing no favors to your child.

I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm the opposite of it.  But If my kid spit at someone we would immediately go home. We would work a lot on interactions involving not spitting. One on one play dates, etc. We would have a reminder every time we went to the playground that one spit means we are going home.

What do the professionals that you are working with suggest that you do? [/quote]

Doesn't seem like OP is working with any professionals her only tools are yell and ignore. [/quote]

You are ridiculous. We do therapy 6 days a week. Behavioral therapy for years. You don't understand and that's fine. There's simply no point in trying. [/quote]

Yes, I do understand.  We had to pull our kid from activities and stop going out to some places for a few years till it got better due to his SN.  What you are going through is more common than you realize.  You and your child are not the only ones who spend 5-6 days a week in therapy and have a very difficult life.  There is no excuse if a child is hitting, spitting or misbehaving.  At 5, you immediately take them home and if necessary you stop going to those places till he is able to handle them better.  If he spits every time he goes tot he playground, you stop going until he can behave.  Get a swingset.  No kid will socialize with him with that behavior.  I would pull my kid and leave to go to another playground if I saw your child being aggressive and acting that way.  They aren't behaviors I want my child to see as he would copy and they are hard to break.

If your child is behaving that way, its not HFA.  Its far more moderate.[/quote]
