Hi if anyone can point me in the direction of any thread, step parenting or otherwise that can help me, I would really be grateful.
DP's oldest son (1 of 4) is 11 years old, and has ADHD, aspergers, asthma, and sleep apnoea (those are the ones I can remember).
The children only stay with us every other weekend so we haven't got a lot of time with them anyway, but I always struggle with this child because I don't know how to handle his behaviour. I don't know what is related to his conditions that he can't help, and when he is just being plain naughty and we shouldn't let it slide.
If you can point me to any books/threads/websites, I'd be so grateful as I really felt this weekend went well with the other 3 in general, but DSS's behaviour has just shadowed the whole weekend.
Thank you in advance for your support. I am very novice in terms of step parentings, have no kids and know nothing about speciakl needs but really want to learn!
