[QUOTE="SRL, post: 140437, member: 701"] I think the book we recommended will help you help him. Schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to ask for a referral. Prepare in advance by listing symptoms, examples, family history, etc. Many peds will want to refer you for behavioral help through a counselor or psychologist or for medication help through a child psychiatrist. Stress that because of the family history you want a thorough evaluation done--either through a developmental pediatrician or a pediatric neuropsychologist. Record a video clip of him in full tantrum mode if you think your doctor will resist referring you. Because of the shaky hands and handwriting issues, I also think you will want to have him evaluated by a pediatric occupational therapist. How's his behavior at preschool? How does he do with other children? There's a parent input/report which will help you put together the data you will need for the evaluation process.
