[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 651510, member: 11791"] Lets see. 1) transition issues 2) sleep issues 3) loves consistency Sounds like my kid at 8 (and 9, 10, 11, 12...) Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation? the kind that take multiple hours, and involve a raft of forms for you and school to fill out? I'm wondering if he just might be a little bit toward the autism spectrum. Not "autistic" per se, but higher functioning. Asperger's syndrome, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, or something like that? Or even some of the traits without meeting diagnostic requirements? Because if that is what you are dealing with, even a "mild" situation, you need to learn about these kids, what makes them tick, how they think. The parenting approaches that work for "neurotypical" kids simply do not work for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-related kids. [/QUOTE]
