The beginning,
I have a child that is autistic child high on the spectrum but still autistic. We were able to get qualified for an Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist to come work with us. He worked with us throughout the summer with great results. So we decided to have the therapist work with Isaac primarily at school so he could have a positive outcome at school. Well the rub is the home life has been taking a dive. The therapist came over tonight to talk and make a new plan. Unfortunately we got about 20 to 30 min unto making the new plan, and the boy decided to test us again. Well he has been screaming and restrained for the last 3 hours on the stairs. My wife has had to go take a break. The boy is currently sitting on the stairs necked yelling look at me trying to get a response. The therapist was planing on leaving at 6 but that sure is not happening.
I know some of you will say whoop his A** we have tried it does not work. Any attention is better than no attention with him. If we beat him and he still would not put the behavior to the spanking.
The real problem is that he is so good for so long you get use to him being so good that you are caught off guard when the switch is flipped and the response is not always the best.
