[QUOTE="Scarlet, post: 463059, member: 12873"] Thank you for the welcome. Even reading that little bit (yes, especially the part about others have walked in my shoes) helps! It's so easy to feel stranded on this island of dysfunctional. He hasn't had an evaluation yet; quite frankly, I don't even know what to ask for. No medications, tried therapy for a year, but... He is a charming lil' bugger as well as quiet so it takes a lot of therapy work to make something happen. Depression runs strong on both sides of his family, as does alcoholism on his dad's side. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and/or anxiety; his dad has depression, addiction, and denial. Academically, he is doing fine. He is above-average in math and average in all else. Flies under the radar for the most part. When in small groups of kids, though, he gets too physical. Often, he's the verbal instigator and others are the action for his egging-on. His gross motor skills are excellent; fine...er... like what I see most boys his age capable of. He is always tired; had his adenoids and tonsils removed at 3 due to sleep apnea (also in the family). Used to wake up 10+ times each night screaming. Now he sleeps through the night (or seems to), but rarely feels rested. Thanks for the book recommendation; I'll look for it this weekend. Again, your insight is incredibly appreciated!!!! [/QUOTE]
