I want to thank the advice I received a few weeks back on
how to help with my 9 year old nephew who has aspergers.
Things have been challenging these past few weeks. Last week
was my Mom's birthday and Mom and Dad watch him and his
brother regularly. Mom wanted the family to go out to her
favorite restaurant for brunch after church. Well just to
get my nephew to go to church and sit still for an hour, my
sister promises him a donut. It stared when the service
lasted a little longer than usual and the deacon wanted to
give Mom a blessing. My nephew tried to leave the pew and
kept whining about his donut when the deacon was praying
with us. Then he hit the ceiling when we told him that this
one Sunday Grandma wanted to go out somewhere special. He
wanted none of that and my sister was going to buy him his
donut. We told her that doing this would only reward bad
behavior. But his behavior kept getting worse. He started
yelling and carrying on in the restaurant and my Dad took
him outside to scold him. He improved a little but sat and
pouted. That night I was suppose to take them to the
fireworks. I said I would take his brother but not him after
what he did. He really got upset. My sister said I should
have taken him too. She had to work or she would have. She
gives into his every demand. He tries to come over to us and
pull things like that and my folks, especially my Dad, won't
stand it. Somehow he is better with us. Now here is the next
thing. Next week we are taking the boys for the week while
his Mom goes to a wedding. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. We know is care plan and also know his schedule.
