He may be addicted to (obsessed with) the game. Taking away the Xbox would be a solution for an average 13 year old. But if he cannot maintain control regarding it, you are putting yourself, and him, in a very dangerous situation. Seek help professional immediately. He may need more than behavioral therapy at this time.Poetessmargothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508189398521265398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31943569.post-49419377063830591612011-04-07T05:37:04.766-07:002011-04-07T05:37:04.766-07:00I have a 13 yr old with aspergers and I am at my w...I have a 13 yr old with aspergers and I am at my wits end. He is very very defiant and refuses to do things.......there is no reasoning with him....if I try to intervene he is violent and smashes up his belongings and my house.<br /> <br />I have been working with a psychologist but I feel I am not getting anywhere which is why I bought your book as you seem more specialised.<br /> <br />I would appreciate your advice regarding the main problem in our house which is his xbox and more specifically the game Call of Duty. He has this as all his friends do and they play online. I have a schedule.....if he does homework, does his intrument practice etc. he can earn time on the xbox....any bad bad behaviour he loses the xbox that day....he can build up extra time with good behaviour.<br /> <br />The problem is even though I have re-inforced this and give him lots of notice his time is running out.....he is now totally defiant and will not come off the game at the end of the period. We have taken the xbox away for several days due to this....then started again and he again will be defiant....if we then take the xbox he gets violent again...very violent. I feel hie is now running our lives. He has now started to refuse to get out of bed for school and we have to use force to push him into the car...often he will run off.<br /> <br />Any suggestions?<br /> <br />My main problem is his time on the xbox and getting him to understand he must stop and hand me the controller. Also if I will not give him the controller when he comes in from school some days he will be violent...put his hands around my neck etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
