[QUOTE="fabfive, post: 449378, member: 11846"] We are starting therapy on 8/8. This Dr. specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorders so [I]maybe [/I]it will help. He is challenging in so many ways. He knows how to push everyone's buttons in this house. He knows he can make a certain noise and it will irritate difficult child#2. He knows he can say a certain word and difficult child#3 will fly off the handle. And then he will laugh and laugh when they are upset. I don't get it. He hits his siblings, hits husband and I, spits, throws things, kicks walls, curses when he doesn't get his way. He is OBSESSED with speakers. I mean [B]obsessed[/B]. He starts talking about them from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to bed. He asks me to buy him speakers because it's not like he has enough. I say no, and then all hell breaks lose. He will meltdown for hours when he is denied a speaker. During his meltdowns he will go from one extreme to another- asking if I love him (I obviously tell him yes) then saying I love my sister more than him. He will ask over and over for speakers and my answer stays the same. Finally, he will stop the meltdown and then ask me calmly for a speaker like the entire scene just didn't take place. He will break whatever he can get a hold of to find his beloved speaker. All the boys got brand new dsi's for Christmas- not cheap! Within weeks he broke his...a few weeks later he broke another...and then he finally broke the last one. Same goes for laptops, radios, old tv's. Nothing is safe from him. He is a handful at school too. He spends most of his day in a resource room. He tells the teacher how to teach class, tells her she's crazy and that she hates him, etc. He doesn't have a single friend but he doesn't care one bit. He has never shown ANY interest in having a friend at all. [/QUOTE]
