[QUOTE="herra, post: 51201, member: 3813"] He is on an IEP. Has been since preschool for speech, Occupational Therapist (OT), and social skills. Currently qualified for PT for next year as he still has trouble throwing/catching a ball, riding a bike, ect... Coordination is a problem. He's quite the clutz and has no concept of personal space. Voice has one volume (usually). Loud. We thought he had asperger's for the longest time until he became more social and aware of others, more affectionate. This took awhile and it wasn't learned, just happened late. He loves to memorize things. Knew all fifty states by age 3 and would only name them in order. (without looking!) But, he couldn't really carry on a conversation until age 5. Even at age six the conversations are interesting. Speech services are more for communication. He's very articulate yet doesn't comprehend double meaning words or phrases like, "give me a break", "knock it off", or "settle down". He's too literal. (sounds like asperger's doesn't it!?) The lesion on the brain proved us wrong on that one, but does explain the behaviors. The aggression and tantrums are why I joined this online support. We don't know what to do! I teach emotionally disturbed kids, I come up with contracts and behavior plans all the time! None of them work on this child. Short term memory is terrible, so that doesn't help. Yet, he can remember and recite in every detail a particular day from three years ago, and he never forgets a name. He is amazing. Just exhausting. Thanks for the comments. [/QUOTE]
