 Oh, I understand that point exactly.  I wonder if anymore research will
 be done though.  I guess I'm a little impatient.  I feel if researcher
 come up with something very positive, they need to quickly respond to
 it.  Thats just me though, plus I guess, there is probably more to
 setting it all up than I know.

 Yeah, I can't say no or the pain can be excusiating. Jeremy, I think, gets
 a kick out of doing everything the opposite of everyone else.  If he jumps
 from the floor onto the couch and I say stop it, he quickly response with
 "I just got on the couch to sit down".  You say he's jumping, he says, "no
 I'm not".  All with a smile. That smile of his is a killer.  He has a
 charm of a cobra.  My daughter says if I could take anyone of my sisters or
 brothers it would be him.  Although she does not know why as he is the
 most frustrating child I know of and can lead you to tears.  There has been
 times when no matter what I say to correct him responses are "laughing,
 smiles, and the dreaded What.  The only thing getting to him right now is
 taking away his priviledge to hold his kitty cat for 24 hours.  This drives
 him buggy.  He loves his kitty more than anything.  I think it is because he
 has so much trouble with his emotions, that he feels very safe with this
 kitten.  I do see responses such as gentleness and such, but this is not
 the case with human beings (unless they are babies or small toddlers).
 Yes, this 9 year old is a holy terror, but what would I do without this
 charmer!
