[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I dont think Trevor (age 8) has just ADHD. Here is what we are going thru:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He is very moody.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He over reacts to everything if we tell him no on something he goes into a rage throwing himself on the floor or against the wall yelling and screaming and saying mean things, or he will begin to throw things around. Everything and anything will start a fit.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Everything is an argument! I mean everything with everyone![/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He is smelling everything, even if he touches something he has to smell his hands. This is anywhere we are.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He constantly plays in his hair and ***** his tounge (sp?). [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He gets ingrossed in cartoons and has to watch the same ones every morning or he gets really upset!
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He can not tie his shoes no matter how many times we show him (this may be normal kid though).
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He was never flushing the toilet, so we drew him a cartoon with a him coming in going potty then flushing the toilet and going back to play. Now he always flushes the toilet. Seems to respond to visual more than verbal.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You can tell him something a million times and he just wont get it. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When we put him on time out it will be for 5 minutes starting when he is quiet. He will and has carried on for hours screaming that he will be there forever and ever, no matter how many times we tell him when he is quiet he can get up he carried on for hours.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
He has trouble with eye contact and also when he is in trouble he laughs or smiles like he does not care.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He can read and reads well. He can add small numbers. He is not stupid, he is actually very smart. Sometimes he sounds so intellegent and others he just seems out there, in his own world. Heplayes better with younger children than he does older or of his own age.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He does have trouble expressing himself and if he cant get his point across he sometimes will push or shove his brothers and sisters. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am at a loss, trying to get in with a DR but wondering if anyone has any ideas.[/FONT]
