[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 556750, member: 1550"] "Analysts" scare me. In the US, there are very few credible Freudian analysts anymore. You son is displaying many signs of several childhood disorders that have NOTHING to do with your parenting. Unfortunately, I keep learning that many countries, although often ahead of the US in other areas, are behind in brain disorders/learning problems. Some have barely even heard of ADHD. Some claim they never saw a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) child. Others think Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) means only claslsic autism. These are all incorrect. Sadly, I think you are wasting your money on marital counseling. Something else is going on with your son. Do you have the equivalent of a neuropsychologist in your country? A neuropsychologist is a PH.D. psychologist with ADDITIONAL training in the brain. An EEG will not tell you about cognitive problems or learning disabilities. In fact, there are no blood tests or X-rays or MRIs to find the problems. They must be done in a series of behavioral and academic testing. My son was tested for ten hours. He is on the autism spectrum although he is higher functioning and, with help, is doing quite well as a young adult. However, interventions are mandatory. medications, not so much. I hope you can find better answers to your son's problems. He certainly sounds like he is having a very difficult time learning because of being differently wired. Seriously, this is not your fault. He needs to find a professional who can test him academically and on every level to see if he has any learning issue (like memory) or auditory problems so that he can be accomodated in school. WILL they accomodate him in school? Did your son have a difficult time as an infant? Did he reach his milestones on time, including steady eye contact with your family and strangers, cuddling with you as an infant, speech, toileting, motor skills? Does he know how to interact with his same age peers in school? Does he have friends? Is he bothered by loud noise, certain clothes or socks, certain textures of food? Can he change from one activity to another with ease or is this hard for him? Does he have tantrums when he is frustrated? To those who think it is your parenting, I would turn the other cheek. It is not your fault. It is too bad you were told that it was. [/QUOTE]
