[QUOTE="Mommy_love2016, post: 675786, member: 19894"] Thank you so much for taking your time to read and reply. This is all very good information. I've read about reactive attachment disorder since you brought that up and it does show a strong resemblance to what Anthony is displaying. The medications have seemed to make him worse. I'm staying the night with him at the hospital and he's been up apparently since 4am and it took a firm 2 hours to get him to calm down to go to sleep at 10pm. He's always been a good sleeper until about 2 weeks ago. I do recall about a year and a half ago he displayed some odd sexual behavior toward a younger boy and the child's mother and I were both very shocked and frankly quite disgusted. Ashton sensed that and has never done it again. He has a fascination with weapons and drawing dreadful pictures of violence. I don't allow him scary movies and he knows I don't like the nasty pictures so they have decreased, but like I said he has changed so much now not a chance could I get him to sit down and draw something with me. He hasn't had to be restrained on the bed today which is a positive ,but still hitting, biting, kicking, foul language and trying to run out of the room. He wouldn't stop crying for hours even after I got here. His voice is hoarse, lips are chapped, he's made himself throw up twice, hits himself in the face, and at one moment turned away from everyone, jammed his finger all the way up his nose and turned around and let his nose bleed down his face. Still all very scary, he is extremely out of touch with reality and has, at times sat next to me and started screaming and cussing at the nurses to "get away from my mom" " I won't let you hurt my mom" for absolutely no reason. Thankfully tomorrow is Monday if only my nerves would let me sleep... [/QUOTE]
