[QUOTE="Dara, post: 101145, member: 3572"] I know that diagnosis arent written in stone but I would like to at least have a guess with some of this stuff. I know that obviously, Sammy is struggling in life on many different levels. I know that day to day life is very tough on him. The thing is though, for Sammy, on the most part, he does quite well in school and his speech program. He is beginning to act out there but it is a fraction of what he does at home. For instance, at school, he says no when the teachers ask him to do something or he is disruptive during circle time. But he is not violent or going into these horrific rages at school. His screaming literally lasts seconds at school. He gets a lot out o his speech program and we are nervous to medicate him because he is so horrible at home and just mildly defiant but mostly compliant at school. There are so many concerns I have for what is actually going on. For instance, I know I have said this in previous posts but here I go, We have shown Sammy thousands of times to hold a to go cup (the plastic lid and straw) so it doesnt spill. He spills it every time and is just as surprised each time. Its like he has no recollection of the time before.
