My grandson is my daughter's step-son, and there are issues with his birth mother, so she and hubby are also aware of pushing too hard and him choosing to go live with her. If that happened, it would not be very good for him at all. We are stumped too, especially with the extra hurdle. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717676042943058784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-14308442546968610612014-12-28T16:46:37.821-08:002014-12-28T16:46:37.821-08:00@Chris
My step-son too! We are really struggling ...@Chris <br />My step-son too! We are really struggling with his extreme self-approving behavior. Whatever he does is completely ok, but what everyone else does is wrong... even if they are the same thing. In his mind he can do no wrong because it's what he wants. He refuses to do the things he needs to do because he doesn't want to, or he does things he's not supposed to because he wants to. <br /><br />This in particular, DISQUALIFYING THE POSITIVE, is the opposite for him, he disqualifies the negative. He dislikes the negative so much that he has said "I don't want to think of the bad things that could happen so I only think of the good stuff" and in turn continuously chooses actions that get him in trouble or have a high negative result because he refuses to acknowledge that negative things could happen. He also refuses to work on the situation and practice thinking differently because thinking of only the good things is pleasurable. We are completely stumped.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633411292623738696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-35868103516819844832014-12-22T17:16:36.195-08:002014-12-22T17:16:36.195-08:00My grandson seems to be totally opposite of this. ...My grandson seems to be totally opposite of this. He accentuates the positives to such a extent that he believes that although he has AS, it doesn't affect him at all. And even though he was caught red-handed doing something bad, he totally denies it until the end. If he does choose to admit to it then, he doesn't see anything wrong with the behaviour or that it is something that should not be repeated (despite very clear discussion).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717676042943058784noreply@blogger.com
