[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 609737, member: 3419"] Welcome, mymulligan. You've gotten some great feedback here. Definitely, it's not conduct disorder. He's got some neurological issues. Lots of deep pressure sounds like autism to me. As well as "constant laughing, falling and weird noises." I'm so sorry that the last "pro" was a flake. It's amazing how many flaky doctors are out there. :( Our therapist is a behaviorist, so he's into things like ... "Today you're going to fall down 150 X in a row. I'll time you. Get set-GO!" Then your son has to try falling down that many times. When he stops, you tell him he's not finished yet. :) I did that when my son was into kicking the seat while I was trying to drive and I would pull over and stand outside the car while he kicked. It only took a few times, maybe three (incl one time in the driveway at home) until he got over it. :) When he falls down the next day, you immediately say, "Oh, time to fall down again. GO!" or "No, it's not falling down time until 5:00. You'll have to wait." When kids have to do something at a certain time, it loses its appeal. You have to set aside time to do these exercises and it's maddening, but not as maddening as having him fall down unexpectedly and spontaneously. :) It's worth a try. [/QUOTE]
