For years I have suspected that difficult child was on the spectrum... and over the years I have been told that she couldn't be because "her eye contact is fine" or "but she speaks very well"... In 2nd grade she was evaluation'd by a child psychologist who diagnosed (among others) NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). As far as what to do...

Hello: I am new to the group and just wanted to indroduce myself. After reading many of your posts it looks like I'll feel right at home here. I belong to an epilpesy group as well but my son's seizures do not cause me the daily problems that his behavior does so, I am glad to have found this...

I am new here and seriously need some help with our 12 year old son...I will try to keep it short and sweet.

Hi everyone, I've been a member of this board for about three years or so, but rarely post and haven't been reading in a long while either. I'm a little pushed away by the term "conduct disorder" and the way children with diagnoses that are very different from CD (which is in fact a specific...

Hi everyone :) I'm Judy. I'm so happy I found this place as I've been looking for a support for a while now :) Our ds4 is quite a little puzzle. He was born into our hearts when he was 8 days old. He was prenatally exposed to drugs and alcohol and his birth mother had a history of mental...

I found this website while searching for the "accepted reasoning" of why some children are extemely oppositional, seem determined to break every rule and do exactly whatever it is they want regardless of the consequences to anyone. I had this question in mind no about any child I'm in contact...
