[QUOTE="loving2, post: 108643, member: 4358"] Thank you for all of your responses and ideas. Right now we are currently awaiting some in depth testing that will be done January 23, 2008 at Hershey Medical Center. Hopefully this test will differentiate some of the symptoms and which diagnosis they are coming from. His pediatrician psychiatrist wants him in therapy; but our issue is that any program that excepts our insurance has a huge waiting list...which we've been on since October and still can't get in until May. We are trying to get some assistance to get him into therapy sooner. I think i've just been so overwhelmed because before only about 2 months ago he only hit himself once every 2 weeks and now it is daily and more than one hit at a time. So it is progressing and getting worse and we haven't been back to the psychiatric since it started getting this bad. Last night i pulled his arm to get him to sit down like i had asked and as soon as i let go he started biting his arm where i had grabbed it. From birth till about 18 months we didn't see any issues. At 18 months it started with-eating issues. peds assured us it was just a phase and at 3.5 i realized it was more than a phase and that is when we started to notice other symptoms that started giving me red flags...things that i just thought were cute that he did (running on his tip toes) (flapping hands when he gets frustrated) i just never thought to look for these things. Thanks again. it is so great just to have people to talk to that understand! [/QUOTE]
