[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191223, member: 1233"] It certainly sounds like a very disturbed child. Even though the behaviors have been present since birth you will get more input over on the general forum. This is for kids who are still under 5. I can say that this sounds greatly like a child who is in need of an evaluation by a psychiatrist (child and adolescent certified) and probably in need of testing by a neuropsychologist. A developmental pediatrician is another route to take - they have been awesome for us, and can shed light on much of this behavior as well as do or arrange any testing that is needed. You are a really good friend to hang in there with a friend who has such a scarily disturbed child. She will really NEED you as she goes through this. I would recommend she call as soon as possible for an appointment - many of these docs can be scheduling out several months at any given time. She can find them at any children's hospital and at many major hospitals, as well as on her insurance company website or phone number. [/QUOTE]
