[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 174534, member: 3419"] Welcome, Tweedhouse. Glad you found us. I was SO excited when I found this bb, I couldn't believe it. :) I know what you mean about superhuman strength. When he was an infant, my difficult child would grab my hair when I went to pick him up and I could not get him to let go. It was WAAAAYYY beyond the developmental grab and hold reflex of newborns. When he crawled, he'd tip over his summer seat, which was strapped to him, and crawl around with-it attached so he looked like a turtle. He tried it with-his car seat but I caught him b4 he flipped it. When he was 2, he'd p/u the DR chairs and carry them around. When he was about 3, he reached from the back seat of the car and grabbed my hair right when I was in the middle of an intersection and pinned my head to the headrest. (Yes, he was in his car seat.) All kids go through these stages but with-a difficult child, everything is exaggerated and magnifed. You know how The Nanny would just stand in a rm and gape, wide-eyed, at the kids' behavior? I did that a lot with-my difficult child! The avoidance of touch is a big red flag, in my humble opinion, as is his unwillingness or inability to play with-other children. I'd get a good diagnosis. And I agree with-others, don't be too hard on yourself. This whole thing is exhausting. [/QUOTE]
