[QUOTE="nvts, post: 360582, member: 3814"] Hi Shelly! Sounds like my neighborhood and difficult child 1! The worst part here is that my neighbors (for the primary part) are my nephews! Makes for a really awkward Thanksgiving every year, let me tell you! :happy: First of all, I'm sorry I'm not really familiar with your background with your difficult child. My first diagnosis for difficult child 1 was adhd and ODD - and your description of your son really really sounds like mine. Have you had a neuropsychologist done? He sounds very much like and Aspergers kind o' kiddo to me (of course, you've probably been asked this a thousand times so I'm sorry if I'm being repetitive!). Nine is a rough age. He's probably swamped with negative responses. Have your tried praising the good things that he's doing when he's outside (even something small - like handing off a toy or helping another kid up when they fall)? It might be a very small step, but I've found that it seems to waylay SOME (definately not all) of the repetitive bad behaviors. Know that you're not alone! I'm walking the same fine line that you are - it's not fun, but it certainly keeps us on our toes! Beth [/QUOTE]
