[QUOTE="Andy, post: 149073, member: 5096"] We have not had a neuropsychologist evaluation. He was a very easy going baby. He had a ton of ear infections as an infant and the number of infections greatly reduced when he was about 2 1/2 yrs old. He had a hearing loss at age 5 and was just diagnosised with another hearing loss a few weeks ago. We have just ruled out Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) this week but are still looking at possibilities. His psychiatrist states he has very deep anxiety. I think his 17 yr old diva sister has added alot to this. She has not been the best of sisters which hurts because she is awesome with every other child in the world and difficult child adores her. If she would show just a tad of that kindness to her brother what a world of difference it would make. But she is a pure diva and anything not to her advantage or attention at home gets the snob treatment. I am waiting until June to ask to start taking him off Clonazepam which is suppose to be short term. If he starts getting migranes and auras as he comes off this, we will look at a seizure disorder again (though the peds neurologist is certain this is only a migraine variant, she wants to rule out anything more serious - great to have docs wiling to take that step) He is also on Fluxetine (? spelling). These two medications have worked wonders for him. The medication doctor states that if difficult child is committed to learning about his anxiety and how to control it, there is a possibility of going no medications or very minimal by the time he is 18 yrs old. But then again, at the medication doctor 1st visit (before difficult child's breakdown) he also mentioned that we may be able to handle this without medications at all. I feel good that this is a minimal dosage medication - he will find just the right dose and no more. I am so interested in hearing more possibilities. I really don't know what is normal behavior and what is not. If this is not normal for a typical child but does show as behavior for certain disorders, I would like to learn what these disorders are.
