[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 58266, member: 84"] lovemyson Your son sounds more on the autistic spectrum than the other dxes mentioned. At least to me. I recognize alot of those behaviors as Travis had them at about that age, plus with the speech/behavioral therapy. If your son is on the spectrum, there are alot of new programs and wrap around services available that didn't exist when Travis was 5. The defiance and anger may stimulant from pure frustation. It did with Travis. Once we figured out his triggers and did our best to avoid the ones we could it subsided. And there are autistic kids who enjoy attention from family. Travis is one of the most affectionate people I know. (he could smother you as a kid) Have you had any thoughts of neuropsychologist testing? Sometimes the school will help you get it done and even pay for it. I don't blame you for not being eager to medicate. Travis never took medications except those he needed for his seizures. Nichole didn't take medications til there was no other choice. I'm all for tring all other possible methods before trying medications. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
