Hello:
I just joined this group and I have a 17 yr.old who was recently diagnosed with AS.
The on going problems that I have a hard time dealing with is the lack of respect, lying, stealing and rage. I can't seem to keep it together. I just can't get over the whole dishonesty thing. How do others deal with this problem? The conduct disorders have been a problem since day one and are not getting any better (even with 10 years of therapy and meds etc.) The therapists keep telling me to ignore everything, but I have 17 year old who wants to run the household and won't do anything unless it is to his benefit (usually stealing, lying and calling me terrible names). Everyone tells me to not take it personally, but how do you get over that? Thanks for your help!!!
