[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 387698"] First things, first . . . (((hugs)))! Well, you've found the right virtual place to connect with other parents who understand. I have been a foster parent to many children and am the adoptive mom to two boys with special needs as well. Over the years, I've learned a whole lot about a variety of disorders that affect behavior. I know you're looking for answers, but remember that answers only come after asking questions - LOTS of them. Think about your son's environment, genetics, and development. Write down anything that comes to mind. Consider journaling what's going on with his present behavior, including what happened before and after any incidents, the people involved, or even the foods he may have eaten. Maybe you'll discover some patterns. While not exhaustive by any means, here are some ideas of issues that can cause behavior challenges in children: [LIST] [*]ADHD [*]Autism Spectrum Disorders [*]Attachment Disorders [*]Food Allergies [*]Sensory Integration Disorders [*]Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders [*]Prenatal Exposure to Drugs [*]Mood Disorders [*]Seizures [*]Brain Injuries [*]Mental Illness [/LIST]I've learned the hard way not to rule out any possibilities too quickly. To complicate matters more, a number of conditions may overlap and occur together (comorbidity). A multi-disciplinary evaluation would be very helpful as a starting point with your son. If you believe your child's behavior is beyond anything typical, don't ignore your intuition. The sooner you can determine the likely cause(s), the sooner you can get him more targeted services. We're all here for you as you work through the process of finding help for your family. [/QUOTE]
