When do you say enough is enough!

qcdj2009

My son has just been diagnosed with ASD and already has ADHD. What we as a family are struggling with is when he is being 'naughty' and when it is not necessarily under his control.

When do you get to the point when you say enough is enough? He has just got back from his Dad's and said my Dad says I don;t have ADHD and I don't need my mediaction. I just don't know how I'm supposed to compete against someone who is always telling hom different.

    You separated from the father because, presumably, you were not getting on and agreeing with each other about everything.

    now that you are separated, you will have to allow things to be done differently in his house just as he has to allow things to be done differently in your house. If he doesn't get his medication there then you can still make sure that he gets it at your house. Don't make a battle of he says vs she says. Just say that Mummy thinks it would be best for you, Daddy doesn't but we do things differently sometimes.

    If he misses it for a few days then it won't kill him. This is not like diabetes where the medication is absolutely essential.
