[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 168525, member: 1550"] I can only tell you that I've raised five preteens and that is not typical from my experience. They are more apt to be defiant or moody about things like hair, computers, boys/girls etc. Throwing the frog around is in my opinion a big red flag (cruelty to animals). I would want him evaluated by a neuropsychologist. His sense of "fairness" and precociousness could mean he has a form of high functioning autism, such as Aspergers. ADHD is usually the first diagnosis. these kids get--they are very much not able to "get it" as far as social norms. Even if he doesn't have it (and he may not), a neuropsychologist is far more apt to get to the root of the problem than any other professional because they test in so much detail and have knowledge of both psychiatric and neurological differences.
