[QUOTE="Malika, post: 539100, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome... I'm sorry to hear of this soul-destroyingly difficult experience with your youngster. It sounds as if he is tired!! Don't know whether he is or not, obviously, but for some reason when I read your post, I just kept thinking that something physical/sensory was wrong with him and he is expressing this inappropriately. Is there any therapy that can help him identify what he is actually feeling and expressing that rather than lashing out with "F you", etc.? There is a theory - French one, backed up by studies - that hyperactivity is in fact an attempt by the child to fight tiredness and sleep, that these are children who actually need to sleep much more than usual. My son is REALLY hyperactive and I can see that he is close to sleep and tired most of the time... yet he goes to sleep every night around 8 and wakes up around 7. He gets enough sleep. He is also irritable and whiney quite often. I do feel there is something going on with your boy which, if only you could identifyand help it, would unlock the door to his real character, which as you say is affectionate and sweet. Has he been fully evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT) skilled in sensory issues? Hugs. It ain't easy. [/QUOTE]
