[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 550677, member: 1550"] I would be considering taking him for an evaluation so you at least have some direction. in my opinion sounds like more than ADHD to me. Obviously, if he is ever dangerous to other children that is a problem. For me, if this were my kid, I'd have my eyes out for any form of autistic spectrum disorder. The sensory issues are a red flag there as were his early unsettled behavior and inability to sleep. Sounds too familiar to me! :) Some kids are depressed too, but I think your son sounds complicated and a good early evaluation (I prefer neuropsychs) is not out of order in my opinion. You are NOT a bad parent and didn't cause this. Sounds like he was born wired differently...and more sensitive to stimuli and high strung. Early intervention is the key, but you do need some sort of working diagnosis to get any. I'd hate to see him in trouble once he starts school...for maybe hurting other kids. Has he had any delays? Any strange quirks besides the mouthing? My son used to suck his shirt so badly that it was soaked halfway down his body... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
