My doter is not into things like that ... she likes intellectual stimulation and enjoys praises in this area. Now she is telling me she wants to do school work like her two jie jie ... :yikes:ImMeeMee.
My son feels like he has privilege cos he is oldest. he is quite egoistic and bossy.
Maybe let your doter take care of certain things and give lots of praise. It might help to boost self esteem.
Like my son now likes to help all of us refilled our water and water bottles. He feel very good when he did a good job. -

helplessmum, try to control your temper. Your son is a bright child and the last thing you want is to push him the other way.helplessmum3:

For me, I feel guilty after every flare up, and I will reflect on what I can do better next time round.
At the next instance when there is a trigger, I find that I am able to hold slightly better. But there are times when I slip too. When it gets slightly better every time, after many times, the improvement becomes significant.
It doesn't come overnight, but if you keep at it, it becomes better. -

I feel Sooo guilty after math :([/quote]It's not just controlling yourself, but it's good to find an alternative reaction. Can you identify what triggers you to shout, and then find another way to handle your son? For me, I used to shout a lot, then trained myself to take a couple of deep breaths, look my daughter in the eye and tell her firmly to stop whatever it was she was doing to annoy me. If she didn't, I would then tell her what the penalty would be (mostly time out), give the instruction again, then impose the penalty if she didn't stop. I ran those scenarios over and over again in my mind to 'train' myself (like social stories!) so that I would be able to carry it out the next time. Maybe you can try this. -
Slmkhoo…
Ok I will try the deep breathing n repeat n repeat …
I totally salute u n imeemee… -

Example like I say something about the child regarding progress, the defensive parent will defend back like some of you people out there defend yourself or your children like that. It ended up I gave up speaking to the parent. The child is so adorable but the parent is refusing to accept constructive feedback. Nevertheless, patience works. My endurance and patience has surpassed my imagination. Just have to tell myself, don't have too high expectation on the child. 一步一步来。sembgal:

good one, slmkhoo.
Now that you point it out, I realize that for situations where I am anxious about, I do go through in my mind about the possible scenarios and the appropriate responses to those scenarios. Are these not social stories?
In a way, we as NT individuals do employ the same strategies when managing ourselves and our emotions. So actually the way we deal with ASD children is the same, except that we have to augment certain things and bring them out more prominently into the consciousness.
