[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 596164, member: 11791"] Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids need to be parented differently. Forget what the rest of the world tells you... it doesn't work. For most of us, we also had to forget about how we were raised, for the same reasons. Structure. Consistency. A billion tons of patience. Simplify your life and his... and then do it again, and again, until life gets to the point where he (and therefore you) can cope. Find out what his limits are. Accept them. Then pick ONE that has a reason for being more important, and slowly find ways to improve that. If you don't get medium-term results... pick a different one to work on. Sensory and motor skills issues do tend to go with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Has he had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? Occupational Therapist (OT) has therapies and interventions that really help... and getting help for sensory and motor skills issues tends to reduce overall overload on the kid, which tends to reduce things like meltdowns...
