[QUOTE="White, post: 651536, member: 18877"] Thank you, I feel more optimistic after reading your post. He definitely has no trouble outside of our home, lots of friends, plays sports and fits in well (very popular), not a problem in school. I feel like I've ruled out aspergers, maybe not ADHD yet. Need a pro for any real diagnosis like you suggest. I'm glad I found this board because it's helping to know what others may have seen before in different kids. If I had to summarize my boy in a few words, it would be that he has a huge stubborn streak when it comes to unexpected demands, combined with an even bigger stubborn streak when he's losing priveledges as a result of his stubborness. He sounds spoiled to somebody that doesn't know better, but I know we've raised our other son the same way and have had no problems. It's hard when the smallest thing(ex. unexpected stop at a grocery store) will lead to an ugly situation. It's mentally exhausting and draining. [/QUOTE]
