[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 359603, member: 1550"] Hi. I'm very sorry you had to be here, but the people here are really nice. How is your son's speech and eye contact and will he cuddle with you? Does he have any unusual mannerisms such as rocking back and forth or banging his head or scratching himself or making weird mouth or throat noises or lining up his toys. How are his motor skills. Does he interact appropriately with his peers? Does he cover his ears for loud noise, will he not wear certain fabrics, is he sensitive to crowds and noisy places? Can he transition from one activity to another without any problem? Did your oldest, whom you also had trouble with, have any of these issues, such as extremely poor socialization? does his biological father have any issues? Remember, even if he's never seen the man, he carries 50% of his genes, thus can inherit his issues. You need to call your school district to get him into Early Childhood interventions. They help a lot and also give you a break. The earlier you start, the better the prognosis. My son was just like yours, and he's very mellow now (at sixteen), but he got services at a very young age. These differently wired kids do not respond well to "normal" or tradional behavioral methods. I would take him to a neuropsychologist. He is very young, but you can be pointed in a more clear direction than you have been. Unfortunately, most of our kids start out with that ADHD/ODD diagnosis and it usually changes. But a neuropsychologist is a little bit sharper because he/she tests from 6-10 hours. [/QUOTE]
