I have an 11 year old son who is autistic, but he doesn't look it. What I mean is, he is very talkative, especially about trains, somewhat hyper, very smart in school and gets really good grades. He's starting 5th grade in about 10 days.
My problem with him is discipline. He likes to use my things, (cell phone, TV, computer) especially without permission, and I don't like that. He will ask permission, and more often than not, I will say no, because he doesn't know, or doesn't care, to take care of them, so I say no a lot. On rare occasions, I'll let him use my computer, to play games on it. Suffice it to say, he doesn't like to hear the word "no", and has expressed that to me many times. I like to keep my stuff in working order, but he does not share that sentiment. I have tried banning him from using my things, but he just takes them and hides.
I need to know something that will stop him from taking my things and hiding them from me. Any ideas will be tried. Thank you.
