[QUOTE="Ewok_1500, post: 690063, member: 20418"] Thanks for responding. He has had a miriad of incorrect diagnoses. He had speech delay that led to a diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorder. He has been tested for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I'll give you a little background: I took him to a psychologist about 13months ago after 2 specificincidents that were really scary. 1. He was playing with his then 2yo sister on the lounge. They were giggling, tickling each other. Then it went really quiet and when I looked up from the vegies I was chopping, he was straddling her and holding a pillow over her face. 2. We got a puppy. He would do terrible things to it. She was a pug, she at 6wks old was tiny. He would put her in the bath, while we spent hours searching for her. Then lie that it was him. He started strangling her. Throwing her across the backyard, as hard as he could. The psychiatric listened to my concerns, and grabbed a book that he lay in front of me. He showed me a list of hehaviours for CD and asked me how many Chase displays. ALL OF THEM. He lies, steals (I can't keep any money in my wallet as he takes all of it), manipulates, is destructive, and many others. The main thing to understand is that he doesn't hurt people in anger EVER. He isn't 'violent' in the malevolent sense of the word. He just doesn't realise that it's wrong. That's what makes all this so scary for me. To answer your other question, his childhood wasn't great. He has 2 older brothers. When his (horribly abusive) father and I separated his father kidnapped his 2 older brothers and hasn't seen him for 6 years (different states). We are STILL going through the motions of court proceedings as I see my eldest 2 every 18mths ish. I now have a little girl as well. My partner is amazing and spends lots of time with my son riding motorbikes and doing boy stuff. He couldn't identify his father though and misses his brothers terribly. I hope that clarifies a few things. [/QUOTE]
