I am looking for advice on possible disorders my 5 year old son may have. If I don't get help for him soon I beleive this could negativly impact his future. I am looking for possible disorders so that I can research before I have him looked at. The pediatrician in South Florida was worthless, even as they saw the problems in the exam room... I just relocated to San Antonio, Texas and am hopeful I will find him better care.
Some points to consider are:
- There is no real aggression towards his younger sister, typical shoving
- Puts stuff in his mouth all of the time
- Seems obsessed with touching everything
- Very destructive (breaks all toys)
- Can't seem to stop himself from running all day long
- Climbs on and jumps off furniture
- Eliminating on the floor (new within the last month)
- Continues activity over and over after being reprimanded
- When reprimanded 1/2 the time smirks while it is going on or laughs after
- Does not play with any toys except Leap Pad and Lego
- Only pretend plays with legos but it is just what he builds not action
- Knows all commercials and can repeat them back at any time
- Frustrates easily
- Has an extreme memory
Besides trying to find out what if any disorder(s) he has I am also wondering how to find a good doctor for him. This is past the psychiatrist for me at this point. We moved 6 months ago.
I suffer from depression (Pamelor) and anxiety (Klonopin). He has older 1/2 siblings, they do not live with us, 2 of which have some issues. Older son is ADHD, depression (possible bipolar) and anxiety and an older daughter has considered suicide and is in counseling.
Any help would be appreciated... I am scared for him and hubby refuses to see that "his" son may have some issues. I just want a well child.
Thanks!
