Sounds like a teenager. Mine is 18 and it has gotten better.

My son is 13 and he just gets livid whenever I tell him what to do.... I'm sure it is part of normal development, but the autism exaggerates everything and makes it really tough. I'm realizing that, because of his impaired understanding of other people's perspective, he still needs to be rewarded when he is compliant. At this point, I can't expect him to obey or comply just because he is supposed to, or because it makes me happy. That just doesn't make sense in his world.

Hang in there...I do agree with Jake. I have 2 seventh graders...and I love the old saying.
Raising Teenagers is like trying to nail Jello to a Tree!
And that is such a hard age for teenage girls....girls can be really spiteful and mean to each other. I also have a teenage daughter that is 12, my son is 14.
Each one has their challenges...and I'm finding that I would love nothing more than to skip the next two years and go straight to High School and get out of this awkward age and trying to fit in stage!
Your not alone!

I am exhausted now! I just cannot wait until teenage years! Girls hitting puberty is really hard. I remember my hormones made me nuts for years! I could not control my mood swings whatsoever! It must be really tough on the both of you!

Life challenges enable us to see ourselves at our best and our worst. We may attempt to temporarily escape our circumstances, falling into alcohol addiction or drug addiction. Others find themselves overwhelmed, careening out of control.When we develop a personal relationship with the One who created us, we discover how God wants us to respond in any given situation.Trust GOD to provide the comfort, strength, and wisdom you need in order to continue toward your goal. By placing our faith in God, we take our hands off our problems. “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold" . God gave us His Son, Jesus Christ, to reach beyond time, life’s challenges, and even death to save us.
Take Care All of You,
Sneh
