I am so fed up with how things go here.. we are stuck in yell mode and i hate it 
it makes me feel sick.. it is SOO hard.. Is it even possible to make gentle discipline work with an autism kiddo? he is just 7.. talking does NOTHING no matter how much i try.. hurting people or peoples feelings doesnt result in a change in behavior for him.. so can talk till you are blue in the face and he will turn right around and do the same thing he knows he is not allowed to do.. some things are dangerous and it doesnt matter.. he doesnt seem to connect any punishment with the action and it is SO hard to deal with.. now DD is just 3 and it is starting with her cause she is watching his every move and when she isnt copying his constant bad behavior she is being constant picked on by him and just screaming all the time.... i dont get any break and dh gets home to a frazzled me and it starts again with ds totally ignoring eveything we say to him.. then we both go to yelling.. i hate it.. i dont know where to start.. every time we try a new leaf it takes only hours before i am so worn out from the constantness of it that i am back to totally drained.. what the heck do i do.. please no coming down on me for being a sucky parent.. i am doing it to myself more then enough... i am sick of a warzone for a house....
