[QUOTE="Sleeplessof2, post: 349579"] Thank you thank you!! I just introduced my husband to this site this am and he is amazed at the amount of support and info that has already flowed in. OK many questions you have asked of our son--let me see if I can answer all. No substance abuse/mental disorders in the family tree (that I know of). Our son had a period when he was about 4 where he had an annoying tic of rubbing his shoulder to his ear. (It lasted about a month). doctor told us it was normal for kids of his age to sometimes do this. He did have speech therapy for S/SH/CH/L/W sounds. He also went through an annoying tic (just remebering this one) of clearing his throat when his allergies were bad. That too lasted about a month. He doesn't flap arms or smack lips. He doesn't prefer to be held or stroked. Eye contact is good. He is mainly irritable all of the time. He gets frustrated over very small things. Irritablitlity to tags, socks not being on just right USED to be a problem but no bother anymore. Drawing and coloring seem to calm him. He will draw for an hour. He often hums the entire time he is doing it. We have to ask him many times to stop humming while at the dinner table. And his behavior is not consistent.
