[QUOTE="nvts, post: 292544, member: 3814"] Hey Woody! You're probably going to have to start a new thread! My mottled brain can't keep up (I avg. about 3 hrs. of straight sleep a night - 6 month old "teether" and insomnia - lovely combination, gotta tell ya!) with the different developments. Has anyone mentioned Asperger's Syndrome to you? I see so much of my difficult child 1 in your son, it's scary. I'd also like to suggest something here. I would get him tested for learning disabilities. Many many many of our kids are extremely bright so they don't have anything "obvious" when it comes to read/write disorders. They excel in Math because it's concrete. They manage to wing it when it comes to language because at this age so much can be committed to memory, but when it comes to actually reading, digesting and performing on a worksheet the issues become obvious to THEM so they act out or get belligerent or meltdown. They basically feel stupid, so to take that bad feeling away, they distract you from seeing it. Hope I don't offend, it's just that I've been screaming for help for difficult child 1 in this department and all it took was to have someone read the stuff to him and he's very quickly catching up with his academics. Now I'm fighting the Dept. of Ed. to get him services to help him do it on his own - we're talking the end of 5th grade - nothing like lost time! I don't want your little guy to suffer unnecessarily!
