    Brummie - thanks - but in our case, Nicholas like putting pieces of it on the wall & doing "art projects" with it - horrible!!!! Thankfully through the behavior modification techniques we have been able to at least "urine train" him & have gotten him to the point with the bm's to poop on the floor in the bathroom & then notify us when he has done so. This in of itself has been a wonderful blessing!.

    You work with adults with Autism - wow - I have often thought of starting a "group home" for adults, so that when my Nicholas is older he will always have a home....if you wouldn't mind, as I know after done with work most like to leave it behind them, but if you could find the time to email me & give me a little information of the type of environment you work at, I'd appreciate it.

    Honestly I haven't had the chance to,all of us are just getting over the flu.He has been sick for over a week,than it was moi.Things are getting back to normal now....hopefully....

    One thing with the dressing ,I am going to get him to the beginning stages.I have always done the backward chaining with him and he can finish what I start....Now I have to put the clothes in front of him and teach him to pick them up and put them on himself. Any suggestions?(please )

    Before I can answer that - I have to know a couple of things.....does your son take "instruction" from you without a lot of resistance (i.e. will he try to do the things you ask?) and is compliance an extreme issue with him?

    Shera - I understand completely - we also "enabled our son's disability for a loooooong time, and this does make it more difficult to turn the tables so to speak - but not impossible. I do have some information I want to send to you - I'll email you tonight (and on the PEC's).
