My son can't do basic things at 8 years old. I'm worried. Should I be?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 593559, member: 1550"] If he is doing ok in school, I'd look into dyspraxia. Insane, what is the total name of it? Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)? I just read about it myself and it is a severe problem with balance and motor skills that can affect other aspects of life too. But to find out exactly what areas your child is floundering in, I would take him to see a good neuropsychologist. He will be tested in all areas of function and his strong, weak and neutral areas will be found out. The violence could be from a number of disorders, and is probably partially due to frustration. He could also have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Sounds a bit over the top of ADHD. Usually a child's first diagnosis is ADHD, but it is rarely the last one, nor does it usually stand alone. How was his early development fron infancy? Did he have a chaotic first three years? I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
