[QUOTE="ML, post: 58246"] I will work on my profile right away! I took him to JFK in Denver as I suspected spectrum and they ruled it out. My sister in law's family all have different levels of spectrum (mostly aspergers) and she occasionally corresponds with Temple Grandin who believes ADHD is on the spectrum. I think so too. Danster has the social skills of a nat lol. Meaning his anxiety and worries about what others think prevent him from having relationships. He is usually ok one on one but gets anxious with the groups. He is hypersensitive to appearing different in the slightest. If I speak to strangers in the market he gets furious for me embarassing him. Anyway, the autism evaluator said that he was too engaged, connected and social with her and that she thought he had anxiety and ADHD. Also, he has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and tends to over-react and is hyper sensitive. He is allergic to everything and is addicted to sugar. A constant battle to improve diet. I wish I could be a stay at home mom and prepare all the gluten free, yeast free, preservative free meals that my sister in law does. But I work full time (no choice) and managing a routine is extremely difficult as it is. I do the best I can with healthy meal preparation and read labels constantly. I would be almost afraid to completely eliminate carbs due to what I imagine would be frightening detox. I belong to a local mom's group for kids with MI and that's been very helpful. What I want to know is why are some of these kids so ornery? Why are they defiant and self centered? I'm raising a brat. I wonder if it's too late to turn it around. I'm just glad to be here again. I'm a bit nervous about 3rd grade as we almost didn't make it through 2nd (mostly attention and focus as well as executive functioning deficits). Michele [/QUOTE]
