[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 212483, member: 1233"] Welcome! I know the world you live in - and are you SURE it isn't my son you are talking about? Just kidding! My Wiz is remarkably similar - or he WAS. Things ahve changed with his maturity and with changes in our family structure/living arrangements. I also thought of Aspergers when you described your son. Try the childbrain link in the post above and see what the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) quiz says. It might be eye-opening. The truth is, until you know what you are dealing with you are going to have a hard time treating it. A new and complete multidisciplinary evaluation or evaluation by a neuropsychologist (some do much shorter evaluations than Midwest Mom's son got, but they can be very effective at evaluating and diagnosing our kids). Both neuropsychologists and the multidisciplinary evaluation can be found at Major University hospitals or Children's Hospitals. I strongly recommend the Love and Logic books. I found that my husband and I were able to meet on the same page and then handle ALL of our kids better (each child has different challenges). The website for L&L is [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] . And the books are by Jim Fay and Foster Cline and a few others (Jim Fay's son Charlie now teaches L&L and writes books - he was raised with L&L as his father developed it and is truly a wonderful person.) The things on the website that are aimed at teachers were even helpful for me. As was the seminar I attended a couple of years age. Welcome to our little corner! [/QUOTE]
