[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 13365, member: 3420"] Okay, a little more. He has no table manners. He refuses to use utensils. The few things he will eat, he eats with his hands. He is extremely picky. He will only eat certain foods, made a certain way, and not if they touched other foods. I have in the past tried to make him try new things, or even familiar things that didn't "look" or "smell" or "feel" right to him, only to have him wretch and gag. Huge display. King of drama. He has #1 and #2 accidents during the day and night. I don't think he wipes well if at all when he uses the bathroom. He rarely flushes. I remind him repetitively to wash hands, brush teeth, wash hands, can coax him into the shower maybe once a week. Little surprise he has few friends, or I should say people HE considers friends. To date he has had two of them over, and they have played with his little sister more than him (she is more socially mature) or with his older stepsister and not only ignored but excluded him. His friends had to be prompted to play with him or at least include him. God, that's painful to see. There's more ... I am so mentally exhausted tonight. Had a giant falling out over his study habits. He finally got an IEP after 2-1/2 years of fighting for one, and there hasn't been a lot of time to see if it will help, but I noted in his planner tonight that there were three things due tomorrow, and none of them done. Instead, when I picked him up from school, he insisted we had to get Mentos and Diet Coke for an experiment that was due today, and hasn't done any of the write-up of the results, and fell apart when I brought up the book report. It is worth about half of his grade in that class for the marking period, and it is going to be another E. He's been seeing a psychologist on and off. I usually see a day or two of improvement and then wham, back to "normal" ... whatever that is ... He's been to a series of psychologists and specialists to try and figure out what all is going on. The only consensus is that it is ADHD and "something else" but not Asperger's even though most of the teacher evaluations point that way. [/QUOTE]
