Gave a break because I did not like the school district telling me he was "disabled" because of his braces, which were able to come of if need be, he was not potty trained(they wouldn't take him anyway cause of not being toilet trained) and because he was screaming he wanted to play with the toys there when we left. I started him back in Speech later that year from a regular therapist office.

Ok, next visit, we showed his arms again,talked about his behavior and he stuck with the same diagnosis and said" possibly another issue-maybe we will try a a low dose to get him to listen to stop the violence". Ok, third time we were there, he did that play cognitive test, he passed flying colors! He came out and said" Your son is a very smart boy, let him grow and I honestly cant remember the other, -I have to look at my past posts-maybe get him doing things? He was in all day school, then that didn't help, so we added a one day a week -30 minute sport practice with one game a week, still didn't help, continued to take him on outings,play dates, in our yard etc but that wasn't enough? So I started to cry and the Dr said" You need the help not your son! Well after 2 years of violence and no control over him, ya,I cried! My daughter was even trying to tell the Dr her brother was not normal, and the Dr or the Pediatrician did not want to hear it or watch the video of him in his tantrum! He even hit the gerbil cages and threatened them before. Not recently thank goodness!He calmed down for a few months,-violence only which was so nice! Ok, for insurance, my kids have medicaid, Im staring to look for a job again and in school, again! The speech therapist said he can and does understand how to explain himself.My family wants me to lay down the law, but when I punish them they throw tantrums, gets my family upset to hear their ongoing rage or complaining.My grandfather says let him play outside in the front yard and down the street and shut the door, for real!
