Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 I agree with this regarding vaccines: >I changed to no more than 1 shot per visit..even though it meant adding extra visits. Never if not feeling well. Also if doing it again, I would separate the MMR into 3 separate shots< I read/hear about it a great deal from the autism support groups...I don't think my high functioning child had any particular reaction to shots, but how do I really know? ------------------------------- Alice, You CAN get your home life back in shape. I know it seems hopeless and futile now, but we are here for you and understand. What does your daughter really like--use that as motivation to stop some of these behaviors. Some of the privileges in the house should be " earned " for appropriate behavior. I do think boredom can be linked to OCD--my son says his mind is sneaky if he is not kept occupied-but it is no excuse for abuse in the family. I keep calmly saying that and it has helped, because even he feels safe with the thought that NO ONE is abused in our household. Not the dog or the fish or parents or kids or friends. It is a household rule. When my son would shake me, we developed an earning system. Tokens were given for each day he didn't touch me in anger. After so many tokens, his dad would play a strategy computer game with him. It worked. It highlighted the unacceptable, and a privilege was worked toward and accomplished. How can some other adult help you out with this? Hopeful thoughts your way, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
