[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 568320, member: 1550"] Hi there. Sorry you have to be here, but we do try to help. In my case, I'd like to know more about his earliest years, his infancy and toddlerhood, and his genetics (anything going on with any bio. relatives on either side of the family tree? These behaviors can mean inherited disorders. Has he ever been privately tested and evaluated, such as by a neuropsychologist? Does he make good, solid eye contact with not just you but strangers? Did he like to cuddle as an infant? Any stomach problems? Milk allergies or intolerance? Did he reach all of his milestones on time? Does he learn from discipline? I am thinking that maybe behavioral therapy won't make much of a different in him. It often doesn't with our differently wired kids. It is always helpful to have a handle on what you are dealing with. I wouldn't even give a thought to who is "tolerant" of your son. I'd concentrate more on finding out the cause of his behaviors and then getting help for him in the school district. Starting at age three, they have to help if he is having any trouble. The bad news is, schools don't usually evaluate our kids very well. I wouldn't trust the school to do the evaluation. in my opinion he truly does need a very intensive one. It's good he is getting Occupational Therapist (OT), but he may need more, depending on the cause of his behaviors... A stab in the dark here. Have you ever heard of Aspergers? [/QUOTE]
