[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 461535"] I was wondering the same things Insane asked. Also, when you say he was evaluated at 3 years old by many specialists, exactly what titles did they have. You mentioned "behavioral" and "autism testing". Who did these testings and what kind of testing did they do with a 3 year old? It sounds like you need to get a thorough evaluation by a neuropsychologist or at least a Child Psychiatrist. School testing for anything is usually very basic, obvious stuff. I would also have a thorough assessment done by an Occupational Therapist and a Speach-Language Pathologist. Have you been able to pinpoint exactly what happens immediately before he acts up? That might be a place to start. Keep detailed notes about the behavior but try to pay close attention to what exactly is done or said with him, to him, or around him. You might see patterns if you are diligent about it. How do you usually deal with the behaviors? What kinds of things have you tried? Hang in there. As Liahona said, you have found the perfect place for help and support. These parents are awesome. They have all been there done that is some form or another and they have the widest shoulders I've found to lean on. Sorry about all the questions at first but it really does help us get to understand how we can help if we have a very clear picture of the situation. We would hate to steer anyone in the wrong direction. Sending supportive {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} your way! [/QUOTE]
