[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 174500, member: 1233"] Hi! Welcome to our little "soft place" for parents. I totally understand how what other people as "normal" behaviors can be taken to such an extreme by a child that they are violent and abusive.been there done that. Didn't really want a tshirt to remember it by. I would encourage you to seek out testing by a qualified Occupational Therapist for treatment and evaluation of sensory issues. He clearly has some. (at least in my opinion - the whole no cuddling, etc...). To learn more about it you can read the book The Out Of Sync Child by Kranowitz. As you move along you may want The Out of Sync child Has Fun. I also strongly recommend evaluation by a neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician. This is not normal development, so that may be a way to get some better clues as to what is going on. Neuropsychs do very intensive testing, if you get a good one. It is often broken up into several chunks. You can put together you own report about what is going on. It is to share with professionals, etc... and keep yourself organized. The format some parents here developed is at [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/URL] I found it incredibly helpful as I could have all the different reports on hand when I saw any of the docs.
