[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 83809, member: 3419"] Hi, and welcome. I would definitely seek professional help for a good diagnosis and good medications, and I would also work on behavior modification or some sort of training, so that your son can learn to cope with-his panic and feelings of being put-upon when he's asked or told to do simple tasks. He's got to be able to function in the real world, and the family is a microcosm of the world, a practice area, if you will. He's got to learn that if you tell him to clean his room, he can't have a meltdown. For ex., our little kids will literally throw themselves on the floor and have a tantrum. Your older child will wrap a guitar string around his neck. He can't cope. (And yes, he's getting attention, too, but it's hard to say what came first, the chicken or the egg.) Don't worry about the spoiled brat stuff. We've all been there done that. You've come to the right place. Good point about situational depression, AllStressedOut. That's why Almond Joy's son needs a good diagnosis. And it takes awhile. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
