[QUOTE="Steely, post: 170164, member: 3301"] Welcome. Your boy sounds like all of our little difficult children at that age. You are not alone. I think I may start with getting him a psychological workup and testing to rule out various diagnosis. It sounds like he has some sensory issues, and a really high IQ - but sometimes - like in our case - my son had an extremely high verbal IQ, but only an average Performance IQ. Which is A Non Verbal Learning Disorder. The doctors explained that this can cause an amazing amount of frustration for a child. They can think about what they [I]want [/I]to do, but they cannot make it actually happen the way they envisioned it. Like riding a bike, or building a lego tower. It also meant that it put him on the cusp of being slightly Aspergers. Once I was able to understand more of how his mind worked, it helped everyone give him the resources he needed. Later he also was diagnosis with bi-polar, but not until he was 12ish - and that is not something one can be tested for - but only comes as a diagnosis after time has passed of the same behaviors being repeated over and over again. Good luck - and feel free to keep posting with your questions. [/QUOTE]
