[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 338090, member: 1991"] I LOVE this! I can so relate... You need to get back to the school and make it clear - you need more tan the usual group orientation meeting. They need to be prepared for what they are going to get and to have all the possible resources in place ahead of time. You are trying to give them a heads' up and they would be wise to take full advantage of it. Who suggested bipolar? Because it sounds to me that this boy has had problems from Day 1 (literally) and that doesn't seem to fit with bipolar as I understand it. But Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), now ... I can look back at difficult child 3's early days and see the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) signs there. He wasn't flapping his hands though. Instead, he was staring at the flicker of light through the leaves on the trees, it settled him down faster than anything else, except maybe the sound of bagpipes. Yes, bagpipes! We discovered he loved that sound when he was 6 weeks old and spent the day at a Highland Gathering with massed pipe bands. You can bet that I rapidly invested in a CD of bagpipe music and set it on the CD player on "repeat"! Unfortunately, the love of bagpipe music has not lasted sufficiently... Some resources for now - have a look at the sticky at the top of this page on "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It's a book that should help you a great deal. You can use it on your other son too, the methods work across the board. Keep us posted on how you get on. Marg [/QUOTE]
