[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 441122, member: 11755"] I agree that a good evaluation is a must! Even without much info (by way of specific behaviors) he sounds a lot like my son. You can google almost everything these days and diagnose him yourself but its so much better to have someone who knows what they are doing diagnose him for you. In the mean time I would look at autism spectrum disorders, just get a feel for it and see what you think. My son has the same thing with consequences. Even natural consequences, a while back he was jumping on the couch and face planted onto the arm of it and knocked his tooth out (it was loose already, but still...) he cried, laid around for a while because he was so "hurt" from it, less than 20 minutes later he was back to jumping on the couch. I know that's a silly example, but its the same with all consequences. He just doesn't "get" them. I really appreciate the step parents who post on here, it is really nice to hear how you think of these kids as your own. I think it sounds like he's got a good support system with you and husband.
