[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 575110, member: 1514"] I actually think a diagnosis would help Billy. He is so far from hyper it isnt funny. He is a slug. If we hadnt forced him to move, we may have left him in one of our old apartments and forgotten him. He was that still and quiet. Trust me, when you are dealing with two very hyperactive and out of control little boys it is quite easy to think the 3 years older quiet one who appears studious and well behaved is normal. We never had to raise a hand to Billy. I think we spanked him twice in his life and that was back when he was a toddler. I think the first time was when he went to stick something in an outlet and I smacked the back of his hand saying NO, it will bite you and the other time was when he almost went into the road. The rest of the time if you yelled at him it had the same effect of a spanking. There were two things that really stand out that should have been neon lights but I didnt know the diagnosis. They are identical examples of the same type of thinking. One time I had gone to the grocery store and Tony was home with the boys cooking breakfast. He was cooking bacon on the stove. He came out to help me and he told Billy to watch the bacon for him. So Billy stood there and watched the bacon. As we came in the house we smelled the bacon burning...There was Billy standing in front of the stove staring at it spatula in hand. Tony takes the spatula from him and in awe says Billy, why didnt you take the bacon off the stove? Billy says...well you said to watch the bacon, you didnt say to do anything else with it. UGH Another time I had to run Jamie up to baseball practice at the elementary school just up the road from us. Cory was sick and I asked Billy to watch him while I was gone. I wouldnt be more than 10 minutes tops. Probably not even that as the school was only about a mile and a half each way.
