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.

  • Hi, I think it's important that you + your ex try to work out a way of being consistent with your son. From what you say it sounds like he has a very different parenting style. Your son will be getting mixed messages.  Your ex needs to act in your son's best interests + if that means he shd advise him to take his meds, then he needs to understand that.  I don't know what meds your son takes but sometimes they need to be taken regularly, day in day out to have the best effect?  Clearly, if your ex still poses a danger to you then you need to seek professional advice about that.  Presumably he isn't aggressive + abusive to his son?  You've certainly had a hard time of it.  I hope things improve soon.
