[QUOTE="nvts, post: 282940, member: 3814"] Hi! Welcome to the crowd! We've all been there at one time or another! I'm almost willing to bet almost all of us have been told "adhd or odd" or some other list of initials that sort of diagnose your childs problems! How "neat and sweet" of them! :raspberry-tounge: NOT! Full testing (like Daisy and MidWest suggested) will open up doors for you and give you some avenues to follow. No matter what: don't blame yourself - too many people are willing to accept blame when most of these things are neurological/biological in nature. You've been swimming up stream for a while - naturally you'd be exhaused! You can usually get a neuropsychologist done at a childrens or teaching hospital, and don't be surprised if they schedule you months out. It's very thorough testing and there's a long line to get it done. See if they keep a cancellation list so that you can be called if someone changes their mind and a spot opens up! Right now he's freaking out and running because there's too much input. I'm willing to bet he's got "sensory integration" issues - loud noises, too busy (surrounding activities - people milling around, etc), too bright, too dark, etc. He's got an advanced fight or flight mode. Check out [URL="http://www.childbrain.com"]www.childbrain.com[/URL] and see if some of the sensory and/or high functioning autism stuff applies. We're here for you...stop in often...kick your feet up and dig in. You could take a look at "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene - it might give you a little insight as to how he sees things! Feel better! Beth [/QUOTE]
