[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 422235, member: 1550"] Hi there. This child has had a very chaotic early life. Was he exposed to drugs or alcohol in utero? If so, that will cause behavioral problems as does heredity. Has the little guy ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist to see if he is behaving perhaps like a child who was exposed to drugs before birth? Almost all drug exposed/alcohol exposed children have reduced capacity to control themselves and tend to have behavioral problems or childhood disorders. Alcohol is horrible too. I adopted a child who had cocaine in his system at birth, so he was also exposed to alcohol (she didn't say "no" to drinking if she did cocaine). He is on the autism spectrum. When he was your osn's age, he was very volatile and hyperactive (although also seemed quite smart). Since none of my four other kids were like him, it was a learning experience. I was not used to defiance from a two year old!!! Also, sounds like his first two years were very unstable. How long have you known him? Have you had an ongoing relationship with him? And he still has to see his mother in jail. Does she have a psychiatric diagnosis? Are you in any form of counseling yourselves? That could help the two of you get a plan on how to deal with him while you travel the road of trying to bring him to his highest potential. [/QUOTE]
