[QUOTE="legoo, post: 261520, member: 7178"] Thanks Midwest Mom. I'm not sure what his deal is just yet. The Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) diagnosis doesn't explain the constant opposition. He has a compulsion to negate everything we say. For example, I say,"What a beautiful sunset" and he says,"No, it is horrible". Or his Dad and I are moving a heavy dresser down the hall and he is in out path. We ask him to move and he says," No, I want you to drop it and break it." It goes on all day. The psychologist we have an appointment with is private, but she is not a neuropsychologist. We met with the school last year and they refused to evaluate him. They said his problems were not affecting his learning. That was pre-K. He is in kindergarten now and can do the work but often won't get started or finish the work. He is very disruptive in class. I can tell the teacher is fed up with him. She is open to suggestions and I have the Occupational Therapist (OT) communicating with her. He will switch to another public school next year. I am sure the transition will be hard but in the long run this school might be better. There is a group of 5 autistic kids his age in the new school who have an aid, so at the least the school might have more experience with kids on the spectrum. I guess we will see what the new doctor has to say. She does work with Aspies, even if she can't diagnose. One thing that really hit home in your post is the part about your son being a terrible communicator. My son can tell you all about robots but can't tell you how he feels. he seems "locked up" emotionally, almost like he is embarrased to have emotions. I will talk to the doctor about the possibility of the defiance being "Aspie". What's weird is sometimes he acts totally "typical" and others times he is unable to function at all... [/QUOTE]
