One of my sisters in law (there's 7 of them!) has an 8 year old boy who has never seen an once of discipline in his life. He's mean and unruly and absolutely will not do a thing anyone asks. The other day I watched three different people tell him repeatedly not to do something to somebody, the moment their backs were turned he did it anyway then ran and hid behind mommys skirt, who unquestioningly defended him. At family gatherings inevitably the other kids will come in crying because he won't share or play fair. And again it's just excuses instead of discipline. They let him continue. There are absolutely no consequences for him.
So now because of his behavior they want to test him for autism. I'm familiar with autistics, and I'm not saying he couldn't be, but my position is that until they rule out the lack of discipline they have no place putting the kid on drugs. But mine is the minority report.
So how do I convince them to see a parenting counselor before a druggist?
