Excellent insight and good thoughts, thanks. Here in MI we have recently passed new laws regarding autism training and programs being provided by the insurance companies. I am currently working with my insurance provider to get him additional training. But it is a slow process.

And you are right, I probably should not call her at work. I never really thought much about how she might feel getting this call at work. Just trying to let her know when it happens. But in the future I'll wait to she gets home to talk about it. Good point, thanks.

One thought that I have is that this my be an alpha dog thing. He is 14 years old and starting to get a little hair on his face. He may be starting to "go into must" as they call it on the animal shows. And with me being the male of the house, he may be starting to challenge for some authority. He also does some of these things with his sister but I think that may be due to him viewing her as a peer and not an authority figure. But it also could be that he acts this way with my daughter and me because we don't give in to or cater to him like his mom does. In my opinion she babies him waaaaaaay too much. So he probably gets less upset when he is with her because he gets his way more with her. She would never admit to this though.

But on a good note, we went to the movies as a family last night. She didn't talk to me much but we all went. Now we are about to go shopping together. I will let you all know how things went when we get back.
