[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 136601, member: 3907"] I agree with SRL about the possibility of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Eye contact, inappropriate affect, rages, sensory issues, lack of imaginative play, all point in that direction. Has your difficult child been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? Many of the board parents have had good success with them. The evaluations are intense and thorough, and can pick up on neurological issues that may not be found through other means. A child on the spectrum might not show all of the "classic" autistic behaviours, especially if he or she is closer to the Asperger's end of things, but several of the behaviours you describe do suggest it. Speaking as one who is on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum myself, as a child I learned to mimic eye contact by looking just above and between someone else's eyes, or slightly to one side or the other.
