[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 463064, member: 11791"] Its late and my brain is sore (long day at work), but a couple of things stand out from your original posts: This is one of the descriptions that you need to keep in front of you... key points that drive your feeling that "something" is going on here, and you're going to need help. Obviously not acceptable. But... if he is this way at home and not (or hardly) at school, it is still very possible that school is the problem. He may be putting everything he has into surviving at school - with some success - and by the time he gets home - and all weekend - he's in "recovery" mode and in no mood (nor having the capability) for maintaining "good behavior". Think "burnout". There may be more to it than just burnout - or it could be that simple. Sometimes, there are sensory issues - an Occupational Therapist (OT) can help with that. Or there may be auditory issues (hearing, OR verbal processing OR auditory discrimination). (or both, of course) Sleep quality issues alone are enough to cause huge behavior problems.... like, to the point of insanity. This is a complex issue, and hard to get it taken seriously. But if you can get some answers to this one, it will make some difference If you're going to the Occupational Therapist (OT) anyway for sensory stuff (and if you're not, then go anyway)... get testing done for motor skills issues. There is both capability and fatigue factors that can be part of the picture. Capability issue is where you "can't" do something or obviously can't do it well; fatigue issue is where you "can" but it drains too much neuromotor (mental) energy and therefore affects other parts of life (including... executive functions, which includes self-control!) These are, of course, things that my family has had to deal with... others will have more ideas and more questions... and more info! [/QUOTE]
