Thanks everyone. All GREAT ideas! Polly, I am honestly not sure. I think I'll start keeping a journal/record of when I see the behaviors. With that in mind, Dh and I were just talking about the need to constantly monitor his food intake. He will not ask for a snack when he's hungry, so I have to work it into our schedule, so that he's eating on a regular schedule. These behaviors (inability to cope) are ten fold when he's hungry. Sometimes it starts out of nowhere, and our first question is, "Are you hungry?" Ds always says, "no." But, as soon as he eats, he's a new man. My point is, maybe I can find a pattern. I do find that taking walks and getting out of the house for some activity calm him and get him ready to learn. I find it tough to teach in little spurts, so I'm working on that. ; )
