[QUOTE="alwaysstressed, post: 352730"] Thanks guys for all you replies, really means something to have contact with people who understand rather than think its down to your parenting skills. Hi midwestmum yes we did initially have him tested for aspergers but found to be not plus as he's got older I can see that he does not tick boxes for aspergers. I really think it is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) along with anxiety but getting someone to agree with us is very hard. We are currently awaiting an appointment at the development centre which we have attended before a few years ago. The trouble is he is just so well behaved in public that people cannot believe it when we tell them. My mother and sister thought for many years that he needed a "good hiding" and was a brat until both seperatly came to live with me for some months ! After witnessing the daily battles they are in total agreement that something does not seem to compute in difficult child's brain. What I find difficult is reminding myself that he cannot help it. He does everything in his power to offend and manipulate that its so hard to remember he has a condition...especially when all the so called experts so far are saying not. I worry that if this is not recognised then there will not be the support in place I am sure he will need when he is older. I also worry about me , as he already hits me in rages and have images of him when he is much older and bigger lashing out. I dont want my life to be like this. My partner (difficult child's father) live seperatly as it all became to much. We are still together and he is at my house every day but he finds it harder to manage difficult child's behaviour , is not very good at giving clear messages and seems to "wind him up" further.
