When he is having a meltdown it is like he loses touch with reality, it's frightening! Both my husband and I feel that he should not have been released from the hospital so soon. He wasn't there long enough for a full assessment in our opinion.....</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 609631, member: 17051"] anonymous, I agree with you that more is going on with my stepson that what has been diagnosed so far. He used to do pretty well in school but the last couple of years his grades have slipped and he more often than not refuses to do his homework or classwork. He used to get along okay with his teachers (until last week, read on) but if he doesn't like someone or you do something he doesn't like, watch out! He gets physical with his half brother when he doesn't get his way. And when bio mom was still married he fought terribly with his stepbrother. And he thinks nothing of picking up heavy objects and throwing them at people when he is having a meltdown. He also chants in monotone when he isn't getting his way, and he beats his head against the wall during meltdowns as well.
