[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 507016, member: 1550"] Your little one is very young, but I do not believe for a second that this is your parenting or in any way your fault. You are dealing with a child who is atypical, and even this young I would take her in for an assessment to see if she qualifies for special services. Schools have a birth-three program then a preschool program. Smearing the poop sounds like a sensory issue...she likes the way it feels; maybe even the way it smells (yes, gross...lol). Lack of cuddling or liking to be held is common in autistic spectrum kids. They do not necessarily need to have the entire spectrum, but perhaps she has part of it. That's a red flag. As is a very low frustration level and inappropriateness with same age peers. Does he sort of have a stoic look on his face? Is she delayed in speech? I would take him to see a neuropsychologist, if one will take such a young child. The younger the child gets help (not psychiatric help, but help for his disorders, whatever they are) the better the overall prognosis. You need and deserve a peaceful house and some relaxation. Putting off an assessment serves no purpose at all since you have tried all you know how to try and nothing has worked and you are frazzled. Conventional discipline does not often work for our special children. Be sure to find time to take care of yourself as well, if you can. Long bubble baths with candles, a girl's night out maybe with hub watching the two, an exercise class...we are no good to our loved ones if we are falling apart ourselves. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
