Hi, Somerdai,
Your post reminds me so much of what we have done (and
continue to do!) with our DD8. If you have not read the
Misdiagnosis... book (James Webb), it might be something
for you to check out--we reinforce appropriate behavior
*all the time* with our DD, and I honestly do not think
she meets the criteria for any genuine diagnosis of
ODD, ADHD, or Aspergers, but (trying to be helpful here!)
if you are having to say that kind of thing all the time
you just might end up having difficulties with schools
or at least particular teachers. Forewarned is forearmed!
For your own future sanity, please check out that book,
or at least investigate at the Davidson's site, just
so you and your DS don't get taken by surprise when
he gets to school.
