[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 502210, member: 1550"] I would just take him to a neuropsychologist and see what he says. Based on your description of him, it could be many things. A neuropsychologist does intensive testing (6-10 hours) and doesn't miss a trick. He tests in all level and type of function. An important issue is what psychiatric or neurological issues are in his GENETIC family tree. He is 50% your DNA and 50% biological dad's. Unfortunately, it isn't just about Dad and Mom. It's Grandma, Uncle Joe (who is a little strange), Aunt Marnie (who had nervous breadowns), and other various relatives. Substance abuse is also a marker t hat there is perhaps undiagnosed mental illness. Is there any of that on your child's family tree? Was his birth difficult? That can contribute to later problems at times. I would make that neuropsychologist appointment. ASAP. There is usually a waiting list for that. In the meantime, I highly recommend "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. This is NOT your fault in any way. sometimes kids are just born different and are that way from the start .All we can do is try to find out what is wrong and to get help. Big hugs. [/QUOTE]
