[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452591, member: 11791"] We're not an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) household (its amazing what all we DO have, not all in my sig! - but not Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum), so I'm coming at this from a different angle... 1) PTSD - what kind of an event for a trigger? how long ago? 2) behaviour escalating... starting when? 5 yrs old... = starting school. There can be a whole range of learning and/or developmental issues that don't really show up much until they hit school. If you don't find them and solve them... then things get worse. fast. and faster. (been there done that) Stuff like... - learning disabilities (dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalcula, for starters) - motor skills issues - developmental immaturity - ADD/ADHD - auditory processing problems - non-verbal learning disability ANY of these is enough to drive a kid crazy... AND attracts bullying - the other kids also sense that this kid is "different". A kid with ANY of these, probably has multiples. For example, LDs often go with ADD/ADHD, as do motor skills issues, etc. School is so much worse than any other experience for these kids, because NOBODY understands what they need. (others on this board tell us that its the same story for major dxes like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), bi-polar, etc.) That's my "long comment". Short comment = ditto to the others: Get assessed. As soon as you can. It doesn't matter what diagnosis(es) you end up with... you need to know what you are dealing with - even knowing part of it, helps. Its critical for YOU to know - so you know what battles to fight, with whom, etc. Its critical for SCHOOL to know - for accomodations to have ANY chance of happening. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
