[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636621, member: 1550"] Welll, obviously this child NEEDS a professional/psychiatrist or my favorite, a neuropsychologist to diagnose and treat him. That's obvious. Has he been evaluated? If not, why not? I definitely think you should and also see a neuropsychologist as the First go-to professional for extreme testing. Did this child have very chaotic early years? Many different caregivers? Breaks in caregivers? Early trauma and/or abuse? The first things that come to my mind are attachment disorder, which happens when there is chaos galore in a child's early life (infancy to 3) when the brain is developing so fast. Also perhaps he is heading toward Conduct Disorder, which is serious and a blatnat disregard for the rights of others, even hurting them, cruelty to animals, love of fire, and peeing/pooping inappropriately in some kids. Either way, he is fighting societal norms on every level and it needs to be addressed by more than you and your boyfriend before it spirals out of control. These kids do not respond to discipline...they just amp up their tantrums and behaviors. They have no remorse if they hurt others. Attachment disorder kids act a lot like CD kids. No remorse. No rules. No being able to discipline them. They don't care. Where is Mom? Do you have primary custody? Any substance abuse by Mom during her pregnancies? Any abusive boyfriends? Was your boyfriend always in his life? This behavior can lead to Antisocial Personality Disorder if it isn't helped early on. He is already eleven. Good luck!!!! [/QUOTE]
