[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 316281, member: 1550"] Has he ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? If not, I highly recommend it. Anyone ever mention possible Aspergers? My son is on the high end of the autism spectrum and when he was too lazy to go to the john, he urinated in old bottles of pop, not as bad as a corner. He DOES understand it's wrong, but he doesn't like to break his concentration by going to the bathroom downstairs (his room is upstairs). Fortunately, that stopped when we threatened to take away his video systems. I suggest another evaluation. Doesn't sound like they know what is wrong with him yet and are just throwing medications at him. NeuroPsychs test the kids from 6-10 hours and in the opinion of many on the board are the best diagnosticians. If he has Aspergers, a psychiatrist could easily miss it. It's a neurological problem that results in very odd behaviors and extremely poor to clueless social skills. Often the kids blurt out in class or act out if told to transition from one activity to another. And they tend to have one or two obsessive interests, like videogames but WAY over-the-top or train schedules. Plus they are often bright. An early speech delay CAN be a symptom or lining toys. But the kids are all different. My son has really improved with help. But medications aren't the only answer for this disorder...they need more. I don't know if he has it, but he could. I'd check it out. [/QUOTE]
