[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 459289, member: 6705"] I'm with MWM and HaoZi. The Explosive Child helped - not so much with O's behavior, but more with my perception of, and reaction to, it. I was thinking Aspergers, too - right off. The inability to transition is what grabbed me. Honestly, a neuropsychological examination (and it's not just one visit, trust me) seems in order. If Mom can convince the pediatrician to refer, insurance should cover it. I don't have any rights to my stepchildren, either. BUT. Visits with bio seemed to exacerbate the problem. Now there was a lot going on. But... If he has issues with transitions... Perhaps the every-other-weekend, odd holidays, yada yada, nature of the visitation is triggering him... Also, consistency is SO important. Just with normal kids - but with our difficult children it's [U][I][B]HUMONGOUS[/B][/I][/U]. And ya know... Dad's house has different rules. Can he and Mom get along, long enough, to discuss this? To set in place stuff that's consistent from household to household? It would have been wonderful in our case... It just didn't happen. (Now that the kids no longer visit bio - she passed away - things are settling down. At least for J.) HUGS - and welcome!!! (And if you had read every post on the board, you would never be done. I didn't either...) [/QUOTE]
