[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 109626"] Hi Paul, You sound tired. I don't blame you. I looked back at your other post and because of difficult child's history (I'm in no way a doctor) wanted to suggest that you google Complex PTSD (this is different from regular PTSD) and see if you relate to it at all. That said, this is what I would do. First, does he have a psychiatrist? He doesn't have to wait to see the psychiatrist (psychiatrist) until after the neuropsychologist. But, once you get the neuropsychologist evaluation and report you'll want to share those with the psychiatrist. I'm not a good one to ask about the medications issue because I've had trouble with that one myself, but a lot of members here make their children's world come to a screeching halt until medications are taken. Nothing is done until then. Second, have you gotten The Explosive Child? Then, if he won't rinse his dishes and put them in the sink, he gets disposable plates and utensils. I gave up that battle with my difficult child and did that. Ironically, she didn't like feeling different from the rest of the family and she started rinsing her dishes. If he won't let you know where he is, he doesn't get to go anywhere. If he intentionally annoys family members, he doesn't get to participate in family events - or only gets to participate for a short time, designated before hand. Is it possible that the stimulation is just too much? Maybe if he knows before hand that he will only participate for 30 minutes then can have a quiet place to go with books or computer games or whatever 'his thing' is, he can maintain better. Or just have the quiet place lined up and if he's feeling overwhelmed or if you see him spinning out of control you can gently direct him to it. I don't know, but from what I read I saw a lot of things that seemed to be very impulsive and either he can't stop it by himself or he doesn't know how. Are you able to redirect him at all? Another member here uses a 'do-over'. She'll ask her children if they want to try their answer again. Just a few thoughts.... [/QUOTE]
