[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 242506, member: 1550"] I'm thinking he may have been misdiagnosed. His lack of boundaries, young development, and seeking to touch could be sensory issues. Has he ever been evaluated for possible Aspergers syndrome? A LOT of kids on the Spectrum are age inappropriate for hugging and touching. There are some that don't like touch and others who just hang on their parents. I'm in a group of parents and autistic kids and I see that behavior all the time from some of the kids. He has a lot of symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)--perhaps it is time for a neuropsychologist evaluation. It is not "typical" behavior to want to cuddle with mom at 13. in my opinion only (just a mom's gut) I think more may be going on than has been diagnosed. He may be manic too, but I'm a big believer in revisiting evaluations and getting fresh opinions. I'm kind of a "better to be safe then sorry, Mom." This seems so developmentally inappropriate. in my opinion it's worth a neuropsychologist evaluation just to see what he thinks. Whatever you decide to do, Good luck! [/QUOTE]
