[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 6537, member: 1550"] Hi. To me the regression and short, but intense meltdowns reek of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or some sort of spectrum problem. Of course, I'm not the doctor. I'd have her take him for a multi-disciplinary evaluation at a major university center or a children's hospital with a darn good reputation because PDDs are hard to catch in young kids and are often misdiagnosed, especially as ADHD. These kids have a lot of trouble with sensory stuff, transitions, life changes, you name it, and they need interventions and a lot of support to be the best they can be. I don't know if he has it, but I'd want him checked out for ALL disorders--sounds as if something runs in the family, or maybe a few things. Even mild Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)'s can really play havoc with one's life, and the child needs Early Intervention Education. I'd try to get the child in to see the experts. There is usually a waiting list, but anyone who is good has a waiting list and in my opinion, since the symptoms are so iffy, a Psychiatrist isn't enough and a regular psycologist or therapist would not know what to look for, since they have no medical background. I hope it works out! [/QUOTE]
