[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 488172, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm glad you found us, but sorry that you had to. I agree with you, not your partner. Your son needs to be evaluated and in my opinion and longtime experience, the best evaluations come from neuropsychs. If this were my child, I would schedule a neuropsychologist evaluation (which you can find at childrens and university hosptials). There can be a wait because they are popular, but they in my opinion well worth it. To me, your c hild's behavior sounds like he is wired differently and will not respond to normal parenting methods that, say, a behavioral therapist may suggest. Our kids need different but early interventions. Does your child's GENETIC family tree have any psychiatric disorders in it, on either side, even if he has never seen his biological father? He is 50% your genes and 50% his father's. Disorders can be inherited. It is sad that people still feel that neurological differences and psychiatric disorders are inventions of society, but I guarantee you that nobody here agrees with that. I urge you to get him help as early as possible so that he can have a better childhood and succeed in school and so that you can also have a more peaceful life. It sounds as if he has sensory problems (trying on many pants and socks...probably they are not comfortable to him). Sensory issues don't stand alone very often and usually accompany things such as autistic spectrum disorder (Aspergers) or a childhood mood disorder. Did you have a normal pregnancy and birth? Did he hit all of his milestones on time? Does he make good eye contact with you and strangers and can he relate well to his same age peers? Can he transition from o ne activity to another or does that trigger a meltdown? You can also call your school district for testing. I personally favor private testing because the school tends to skimp, but you actually may want to do both so that the school district is ready for him and can maybe accommodate him. But I wouldn't wait any longer to evaluate him. The earlier you start interventions, the better our children can do in the long run. Welcome again! [/QUOTE]
