[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 606420, member: 3930"] IC - I love your post! We do most of these things anyway (same cereal every morning, very few outings, same routine in the mornings) - but he still fights getting ready for school, fights taking showers, fights going somewhere - even if it's somewhere he wants to go, hates school and doesn't want to go but can't tell me what specifically he hates, hates when it rains, hates when it's sunny, etc. Like someone in another post said he will get upset if I say for example his gma is going to be here around x time and then if she is later than that time he thinks I lied to him. I also noticed he doesn't recognize people when we are watching a show. He will ask who someone is and I will tell him then on another scene he will ask me again or think it's someone totally different. I also asked him if a certain kid was in his class this year and he told me yes. Then I said I don't think so because he was in a different line and then he 'remembers' he actually isn't in his class. I remember last year him not being able to tell me who was in his class. Also there is a new PE teacher this year and he referred to the teacher as Mr So-n-so (from last year) and my 1st grader said no he is not at our school anymore now it's Mr. H. difficult child seemed very confused and he had just spent time in PE right before this conversation. He doesn't like when I ask a lot of questions, he always answers I don't know, and he hates talking unless it's prompted by him. He hates bugs and doesn't like being outside much. He is super scared of bees - but likes being hit by paintballs or airsoft guns. Big things don't hurt him but small things do. He is not bothered by tags and dresses messy (underwear or shorts twisted band or sideways, shirts backwards, hard tying shoes, breaks pencil led, sits hard on chairs sometimes breaking them.
