[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 171298, member: 2459"] Yeah, I could see how that could be an odd noise! LOL Sorry I haven't responded sooner. husband had the computer most of yesterday and then a storm knocked out our dish/internet for a while. I am just now this morning able to get back online. (I think I had the shakes last night when I couldn't get online!) To my knowledge, difficult child has never been tested for any language/processing issues. Again, I've had suspicions for years but could never get anyone to listen. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a watermelon at the store. When I carried it in the house, he asked me what it was. Not "is that a watermelon" but just flat out, he had no idea what it was. I don't buy watermelons often but I do get them. He's had them, he's been with husband and I when we've bought them. He swore up and down he had no idea what it was. When we first got him at age 9 yrs. 5 mos., he still couldn't completely tell time. It took him a couple of years to figure this out. His common sense level is really low. We have a cordless phone and a corded phone on the wall in the kitchen. If he happens to be standing near the corded phone when it rings, he will scour the house looking for the cordless. I'll tell him just to answer the corded phone and he stands there looking like I asked him to build a space ship. Granted, that could be a technology thing......kids aren't that used to corded phones but still. We've been over that and over that. I am completely convinced there is something else going on with him. But I also absolutely know that unless he matures and grows up, he will never agree to more testing and/or treatment. [/QUOTE]
