[QUOTE="buddy, post: 557586, member: 12886"] Just so sorry. I can completely relate too. Q says things like lick my pe*** which he has repeated since he was 4 and has nothing to do with sex but rather that he would imitate everything our pets did. He is 15 and since it was an attention getter it has continued to this day. His big thing lately is saying everything in a loud tone. Of course schools don't like it. Luckily he has never done the gun thing but he has never been allowed to own even a water gun because he would use it inappropriately. He did let some kids who had one shoot him leaving bruises because he wanted to be friends so badly. That was the last time I let him hang out without direct supervision at our old house. He only had just started trying to be alone right by our house and it ended fast. It does sound like a new evaluation is needed. Not fully understanding those kinds of social rules could be a spectrum issue as well as the delayed echolalia or perseverative speech. Worth checking out because if that is it ed behavior methods can not only be ineffective but make things worse. If there is an autism center around you it might be a great choice because they understand the wider spectrum better and can tell you if what he does overall fits. A neuropsychologist is another way to go but I mentioned the other because it sounds like he has had a lot of evaluations and just thinking that if its been a specific question for you......might be another strategy. A complete neuropsychology exam is wonderful though and could help sort thru things too. Id for sure get an advocate and make them adjust the IEP toward identifying the target behaviors and teaching the skills needed to do better. Punishing the behavior clearly hasn't helped improve things so time to get off the hamster wheel and do better! Go get 'em, mom! [/QUOTE]
