Dear parents-further-along-than-we,

Thomas is four, has autism, and has just finished his fifth round of
chelation with DMSA only. Among the many positive developments, he
has recently sprouted a distinct case of the "terrible twos" --
deliberate, testing defiance and naughtiness. Much as I'm pleased to
see this developmental stage arrive (better late than never!) I have
no intention of raising a tiny tyrant, and need to encourage his
budding independence while squelching the brattiness.

Anybody else gone through this, and did you handle it differently
than you would've a typically-developing two-year-old who did the
same things?

Thanks

Cathy
