Howdy campers!
Allow me to introduce mahse'f .
(WARNING - Coming from an ex- professional musician and radio/club DJ background, these various ethnic characters occasionally rear their heads.)

I'm Charles from the Denver, CO area and I'm turning to this forum for assistance in understanding how to raise my 7 yr old autistic boy in the midst of parents not being on the same page re: discipline. (Wife's a liberal and I'm a çonservative) I'm retired, so I watch the young 'un while the wife works 40 hours. We have 2 schools of discipline: I do, she doesn't!
Example; I don't deal with disrespect from my 18 yr old (another story, completely) OR my 7 yr old, autistic or not. The 7 yr old heard his big brother tell me "F*** you, old man" and now every day he tells me "F*** you" and his mother really just ignores the behaviour and advises me to do the same.

My marriage and family are so dysfunctional, it's already given me a stroke and stress related heart attack. There's probably WIDOW MAKER the sequel, anytime soon.
Any input would be appreciated.
Much Obliged, Pilgrim. -CK
