Normal
He will be tested for add/adhd/odd/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We are currently calling everyone we know of to get this moved up as his behavior has increased so much over the 3 months. We are too in the same boat that we have to pay out-of-pocket for any more specific testing and it is not option for us at this time (the expense is too great). I too always blame myself in that how I deal with causes more problems. I have started counselling for myself, and even tho I have been explained repeatedly that it is no ones fault it is nature to blame one's self. We cannot talk to our difficult child when he gets locked into something, we have just had to turn to allowing him to go to his room (which is sparcely decorated) due to his tendancies to distroy things and allow him to finish (often can be 1hr). Any type of interaction well only escalate things. We will stop him if he could cause harm to himself like jumping off bed (floor isnt carpeted) or trying to open window, but he will just excalate his behavior until he decides he has had enough and then it will be like it has never happened ( I truly believe sometimes he doesn't remember what just happened).
