[QUOTE="restlesstoo, post: 117275, member: 4522"] How does he do in school, both academically and with peers? He's in a gifted program - up until this year, never had problems. This year he keeps not doing work, then blaming someone else, saying he did it and someone else destroyed it. He's tested on 7th grade levels (he's in 4th) for most things (math is his lowest subject - he's high 5th in that, and reads at college levels) Any developmental or speech delays? No - he's always been in the upper percentiles for everything (including size - he's 5' and 130 lbs, but physically very fit) Any sensory issues (sensitivity to clothing tags, loud noises, food textures, for example)? Not that I've noticed . . . he often claims he can;t hear things unless the volume is very loud, but I think that's more to annoy me. Any mental health issues or substance abuse in the family tree? My brother had problems with drugs in the 70s. I tried coke inthe 80s, but never often and gave up any hard drugs after a year, gave up smoking 20 years ago, and only drink and occasional glass of wine now (Tylenol knocks me out like Lortab does most people!). His father has smoked 2 packs a day since high school (he's 47 now), drinks an average of a six pack a night, and will indulge in pot if it's available. I'll pick up a copy of that book this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation! [/QUOTE]
