[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 93516, member: 1991"] On the breakfast thing - I'd give in and give him a second breakfast without insisting on calling it seconds. It doesn't matter. Keep it cool. I wonder if there is a lot of anxiety here - he might have been hungry and reluctant to admit he knew he'd eaten already, in case it meant you would refuse to let him have more. If he learns that he can eat more if he wants, then he is more likely to feel safe and less anxious about possibly going hungry. difficult child 3 eats a lot and we wonder where it goes. He's long and thin, looks like a twig. And people think we don't feed him. We had the same problem with difficult child 1 - he would eat as if he had been starved for a week. He also may not be 'lying' fully, which involves inventing an elaborate alternate reality, he may simply be absent-minded and letting his tummy dictate the 'truth' as he perceives it. He's got an Aspie diagnosis - from my own experience, a large amount of this behaviour could be laid at the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) door. The medications may be making things worse, but I see ALL of this to connect to Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Certainly call the doctor, because you know your own child, but I've seen reactions like this with difficult child 3 when a medication disagreed with him - it was Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) behaviour, but made worse by the medications. A matter of degree, really. Marg [/QUOTE]
