Ok Soooo my four years old boy has ADHD n ASD. Our issue ATM is his just an absolute smart arse. The worlds one big joke n his the comedian. His non verbal as such so it's not his mouth but his whole personality. My theory is its just him, just his personality. And how do u change that. Smacks. Timeout. Things being withheld. He don't care. He lines up for a smack. Wtf do ya do.....

What motivates him the most? Is he medicated? you don't mention any of this. have you taken the diet approach by removing additives and such from his diet? i hear removing additive 331 can help. there are loads of things that can be done you just need to find the right approach for you and your son its a lot of work but we'll worth it. Do you have reward charts ie if your good for this many days we can go to the pool. I chose not to medicate my son to start with but now I see its in his best interest and he can actually focus. you just have to keep trying something will work.
Use his special interests to motivate him and find a behavioural psychologist to help you work through everything. After living 20 years with ASD, ADHD, non-verbal son I can tell you they know there shit! Also make sure he is learning a method of communication either PECS or iPod app like Grace app. Once you get a communication method going behaviour usually does improve, because if you can't communicate how else are you going to get the world to pay attention to you?
