[QUOTE="4cooper, post: 524415, member: 14426"] We go back to the pediatrician tomorrow so i'll have more info on what and why the medication tomorrow. They also have mentioned a sleep study. They said it could be that he has some form of insomnia. I also have set up a meeting with the psyc to discuss what we are going to do. I'm pretty demanding at this point that testing be done. C is super scarey smart. By the time he was 3 he was doing puzzled with 40-60 pieces, knew his abc's and how to count to 10 and various other things by this point too. The one thing that kept hitting me in the face when he ran away is we kept saying c you could get hit by a car and get seriously injured and he would say no i can run fast and then proceed to show us. Buddy- your words mean so much. I feel like the worlds worst parent at this point and I feel like i've let my child down. Before C I also did work with children. I was a one on one with a autistic child. He was pretty severe, so it sort of clouds my judgement on the levels of autism. I can say C is super polite, 98% of the time he uses his manners. He's sensetive about things...like if someone gets hurt he'll be the first one to give loveys. For the most part he does play well with other children. However, my opinion is he's a bully. He's super imaginative. In fact one of our favorite hobbies is to staple paper together and he'll draw pictures and actually write the story.
