That is one of the reasons I am here. I guess I want to learn from you all, what should I tolerate from her, what will make her li... |

| It does seem that the more I fight the more I lose. She cannot, nor does she care to accept reason. The only reason why her dad isn't involved in this is because his involvement makes her behavior worse, then he dishes out a punishment that I don't agree with but I have to stick to even if it someth... |

| Anyone want to weigh in on today's battle???? My 13 year old has a boyfriend. So far it's been going okay but true to her ASD she is fixated on him and her emotions are completely over the top. He is a good boy and has responsible parents when she goes over to his house they always have a chaperone ... |

| wow, I understand where you are at right now but your daughters behavior is maybe up a couple of steps from my own towards the bad end. My 13 year old had a group of friends that were getting in trouble and while she didn't agree with what they were doing (drinking, smoking, damaging property, havin... |

| I don't understand really why this is so important to you, I don't really give my daughter a lot of rebel against but she does rebel, and she does take the consequences even if she argues about how unfair she thinks they are. Your argument though seems almost like you're telling kids to rebel for th... |

| I wanted to chime in here because while I am not a "radical" unschooler, I am an unschooler and I have found that my ASD kid DOESN"T respond to these methods AT ALL. Now mind you, this is only my kid and I am not speaking for everyone. My daughter fully believes that if she wants something she will ... |
