Don't you get sick and tired of people in public places giving you that look (like mygod the parent needs to disipline that kid) Here's what i did. - Print up double sided business card's that say the following.
- Front side: If you are puzzeled by my childs behavior? it is not boldness nor lack of disipline!!! My child is Autistic....
- Back side: Autism is a life- long neurological disorder that prevents proper understanding of what a person sees, hears or otherwise senses. People with autism often become confused and respond inappropriately in social situations. Autism strikes 20-30 out of every 10,000 people.

Hi Cheryl.
Thanks for the question invite. I have a 6yr old autistic daughter. She does not have a behavior plan on her IEP, the school has used timeout and it worked great they said. I have tried to do it at home but she won't stay on the chair. Should I try more?

Hi sherrie,
I am not cheryl but but thought i would share my 2 cents. I have the same problem with my son. He behaves pretty good at school and follows orders but at home everything was such a battle with him that I admit to not following through sometimes and so he didn't take my disipline serious. Thats what i liked so much about the way Dr. Phil explained "picking your battles" its ok to pick your battles however once you pick it dont ever prevail or give in. If you dont think the problem behavior is that big of a deal or are not in the mood at the time to deal with it then just don't acknowledge the behavior at that moment but once you decide to give an order for them to do or not to do something you must see it through till the end.
