[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 453113, member: 1233"] Has he been evaluated for Tourette's? It could be that type of disorder. Agitation can cause headaches, but he also should have a sleep deprived EEG to check for seizure acitivity. Even if they don't find seizures, he could still have them. Depending on where the seizure is, it can cause almost any type of behavior. EEGs can only detect seizure activity in a small part of the brain, but they do need to be done. This is just what comes to mind. Also, why not challenge him with a dictionary. Lt him know that he is not a stupid person and those words (curse words) are used by stupid people who are not creative enough to find something more powerful to say. Let him find words in the dictionary that may sound like curses or that no one understands. I had a teacher try to give me detention for calling another kid a terpsichorean. It means dancer, basically and infuriated this teacher because he did not know the meaning of it or probably ten other long words I used. NONE of them meant anything bad but they let me get my frustration out and many thought they were "bad" words. This was my English teacher, by the way, and he was really angry when the detention was overturned by the principal because you cannot give someone a detention for using a word you don't understand. At least that was the principal's reasoning then, lol (I was a real brat as a teen, esp to teachers. NO ONE wants a teen to read the curriculum/education books like "why johnny can't read" that are used to teach college level education classes - and my father insisted I read and discuss them all with him as he got his master's degree.
