[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362455, member: 1550"] I would take him to a neuropsychologist, not just a therapist. They are not good diagnosticians. It is hard for us to tell you what to do when we don't know if he has a disorder or mental illness of some sort because usually these special kids need to be treated in different ways. Also, how was his early development and how does he relate to his same age peers now? Can he make good eye contact with strangers? Does he have an odd quirks or obsessions? How are his grades? Does he have or DID he have any sensitivity to loud noise, bright lights, textures of clothing, certain foods, crowds? Does he overly worry or have many odd fears or irrational fears? At his age, he should be able to be frustrated without crying which makes me think that he should have a workup to see what's really going on. Are there are psychiatric or neurological or substance abuse problems on either side of his genetic family tree? Remember, even if dad isn't around, your son carries 50% of his genes. I'd want to find out exactly what is going on (if you can) before he hits the terrible teens. That's NOT a good time to try to help your kid. Often they refuse any help at that time and can turn to drugs. Whatever you decide to do, welcome to the board :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
