[QUOTE="Numina, post: 221590, member: 6360"] Update. The GP has put him on a stool softener for 20 days. It took a couple of false starts but he'll take the sweet powder in grapefruit soda. This is just a preparatory step before he sees the pediatrician. We met with the psychologist who is overseeing our case. As we left the meeting husband said, 'That was a waste of time!' We were given two websites and the recommendation for a very expensive book. We were told to go ahead and make an appointment with the food behaviorist-which I did. I was given the choice of a nutritionist or the food behaviorist (sorry don't really know what the translation is) a year ago and chose the nutritionist. I so regret that! We've countered his meltdowns with brainstorming sessions on possible ways through his frustration. I think he was just blowing up because he knew it would get him out of doing stuff he didn't want to do. But he's had some assignments that HAD to be done so we pushed, cajoled and held firm and he finished them. Now that I know what to look for I see so many things! The babbling-difficult child'll spend ages speaking his own form of pig-latin where all words have to start with the same letter. The intense focus-but only when it's interesting to him. How difficult child makes unusual connections which only make sense after I have him explain them to me. I have to admit, I've spent a little bit of time lurking at WrongPlanet.net and it's refreshing how blunt they can be there. The threads about confusion on social conventions have me chuckling, why DO we do things the way we do? I'm trying very hard not to sink into the 'If Only's thoughts. And it's so hard to know where to direct my anger. [/QUOTE]
