[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569975, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board. Sounds to me like this difficult child needs a more intensive evaluation, like a neuropsychologist evaluation. Having said that, this is likely how the child will be for the foreseeable future. He sounds autistic spectrumish to me. But it could be anything. Either way, you have to ask yourself if you want to sign up for this. He is part of the deal, and if you don't want to deal with his odd behaviors, the relationship likely won't work out. He is her child, after all. Even with help, he will continue to be difficult and normal parenting methods tend not to work with our differently wired children. If you want to stick it out, I'd encourage you to ask girlfriend to take him to a neuropsychologist because I think it's obvious that more is going on than ADHD/ODD. As he gets older, chances are it will only get worse. Does he have a relationship with his father? Was his very early life chaotic? Do you know anything about his milestones? Does he have any friends? How does he do in school? Good luck with your difficult decisions! [/QUOTE]
