[QUOTE="jal, post: 214391, member: 3477"] Thank you MWM. difficult child has poor socialization, no close friends. As a baby this kid was great but at the time he hit around 2 all this started. He has trouble making and sustaining eye contact with everyone including myself and husband. I am really thinking that psychiatrist is wrong. Although difficult child exhibits a lot of bipolar traits there are a few key ones he does not and the sensory stuff that goes on is unreal. difficult child used to complain about the sun burning him while riding in the car, I would start the vacuum and the kid would freak by running all over the house, jumping on furniture and the vacuum (those things have stopped), but he is constantly on the go like a motor, can't sit still, never. Falls out of his seat at class because he squirms so. Example: After dinner this week the clinician was coming for a session. difficult child wanted ice cream for dessert. We asked him to wait a bit. He rushes through dinner just to get dessert. He wigged out. Got on the couch, couldn't sit still, writhing his body all over if while complaining about not getting ice cream right this minute (this lasted about 15 min). husband comes over and difficult child hits him with a pillow twice. We send him to take space in his room. He goes into total meltdown, throws his body onto the floor (without using his hands, he often just collapses face first). Both husband and I have to carry him down to his room. He is screaming, trying to hit and bite. We place him on the floor in his room and he goes on and on. The clinician comes in - something gets thrown down the hall by him. It takes a bit of time, maybe 10 min in his room before it becomes quiet. He had fallen asleep. The school nurse where he used to go to school had mentioned to me that his episodes are almost seizure like in the he has this huge meltdown, wigs out and then falls asleep. It has been a pattern. I asked about and EEG and was tol well he'd have to have the seizure activity while he was hooked up to it. I have asked about an MRI and was told that there is no physical reason for it. UGH!
