[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 465413, member: 1550"] Hi. Welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here. I am wondering if birthmom drank or did drugs while she was pregnant with LIam? This could have a profound affect on him...I have adopted a child who had that sort of pre-birth exposure to substances. Also, I think maybe you should take him to a psychiatrist or a neuropsychologist just as soon as your insurance kicks in. Make an appointment NOW as there are often waiting lists for the best people. As educated as you are, it is hard to treat one's own child, let alone see him clearly, without emotion. It sounds like he is not in any sort of treatment. Does he have a school IEP? I would take the evaluation route, if this were my child. It is very common for our kids not to respond to normal interventions that therapists suggest. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with him. Did he have a rocky time in his early years? Did he sort of get passed around from one caregiver to another...in other words did he lack consistent caregivers? [/QUOTE]
