[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152544, member: 1991"] I am so pleased he's doing better. I'm not surprised at the reason this problem seemed to suddenly get worse. Have you been able to talk to Ryan about how his emotions and distress were causing the swallowing problem? He needs to get the connection between the feeling he had and the emotions which were causing it, so he can recognise it when it happens again. And it is going to happen again. So if he is prepared, he will recognise it and hopefully come and talk to you about it. The social skill problems - he will need help. He isn't going to learn social skills just be being around other children. He will need to role play, to rehearse (with you) and to be supported in social situations so he can practice in safety. Have you considered the possibility of Asperger's Syndrome? I know a number of children with this, plus I have difficult child 1 with it, plus his sister who is mildly Asperger's. difficult child 3 is more obviously autistic, as he had language delay. A child with Asperger's Syndrome is often very bright especially on some subjects such as maths and science. Computers especially. As they get older and the work becomes more abstract, they can begin to have trouble with subjects like grammar, creative writing, history - humanities subjects. difficult child 3 is brilliant at grammar and spelling but not doing well when he has to analyse a text. Asperger's children also have trouble with social skills and can't pick it up easily as other children do. But Asperger's kids have some wonderful qualities - they are honest (generally). They obey rules. They are loving and loyal, often much more so than others. They often enjoy learning and will value the opportunities to learn. Have a look at the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url]. You can't use this to diagnose, but you can print the results and take it to a psychologist or specialist and ask their opinion. There are some important people in the world who probably have Asperger's. Bill Gates is believed by some to have it. Einstein. I think Steve Irwin had it. And many more. I am very happy he is doing so well. He sounds like a very precious child. Marg [/QUOTE]
