[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 290129, member: 1550"] Actually, I would really recommend the neuropsychologist now. The "shutting down when he thinks he can't do it" sounds like it could be Asperger's. Aspergers kids also don't do well with being told what to do and tend to eat only certain things due to sensory issues. It's up to you, but I'd get an evaluation just to be sure. A therapist is not enough to know. And I would never ever trust the school district. I'd go to a private neuropsychologist. If you are afraid he may strike a teacher, he has more than ODD going on. Men tend to be fixers. This happened because of that and I can undo it. Sometimes thats really great! I love when my hub goes into that mode UNLESS he gets stubborn about something maybe not being able to be easily fixed and becomes inflexible. I don't think you ARE inflexible. Just keep in mind that more may be going on than what his mother did to him. I put velcros on all my kids because I hated the untied laces and all five of my kids learned to tie shoes in spite of that. She certainly made some horrible mistakes, however 1 plus 1 doesn't always equal 2 with kids. Take into consideration that you son l oves hi mom and likely resents your wife and you can't quickly force him to like or respect her or to think of her as a parent to him. I went through one divorce and my poor hub had to put up with older kids who said "you're not my father" to him. It's tough all the way around. You need a diagnosis AND supports in my opinion! Good luck. Good luck :happy: [/QUOTE]
