[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 87735, member: 3419"] I have a friend whose son did that. He was about 5 and he shredded all the sheets in his bedroom into tiny pieces, and hung them everywhere and made sort of a tent thing. The parents walked in and they were horrified. But they handled it well--told him he wasn't supposed to tear apart perfectly good sheets, but that he had been very creative with-his ideas. Then they shut the door and made themselves a drink (or several--that's when it hit them that there was something really wrong with-him), and they made a gazillion appts for testing. He has Asperger's, ADHD, and I can't recall what else. I will ask. One test involved putting him in a chair suspended from the ceiling, and they spun him around until he said stop. He asked for more. I'm sure others here will recall what the name of that test is--it has to do with-the inner ear, and stimulation. He was adopted so she doesn't know the bparent's histories. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
