[QUOTE="slsh, post: 129564, member: 8"] Hi and welcome! So glad you found us! As TM said, we're just parents and we do bring our biases to the board based on our individual experiences. My bias would be to wonder if there's a mood disorder lurking. Do you have any bio family history? My son was also extremely advanced in language skills and very "hyper" at ages 2 thru... well, he still has his moments, LOL. He did outstandingly well academically in a Montessori setting but he has never taken direction well from adults and has absolutely no problem in letting us know he's going to do what he wants, his way. Didn't fly in Montessori. A negative reaction to stimulants can be (but isn't necessarily always) a red flag for a mood disorder. My kiddo also appeared to be a very self-assured child but at the same time, had some very serious fears that weren't based on any personal experience (aside from darkness and being alone in a room, he was absolutely terrified at age 6 that someone would break into our home - I still have no clue where that came from but it was very real to him). Again, just my bias. I think getting a neuropsychologist evaluation is definitely a great idea - just sorry you have to wait so long! As far as the sleepwalking - what happens if you gently guide him back into his room? Will he come back into bed with you again? It's hard - sleepwalking is very different from a kiddo who intentionally climbs into your bed in the wee hours. I agree that possibly a sleep study might be an idea. Anyway, so glad you found us! We have a wide range of opinions and experiences and always have several steady shoulders when things get rough. [/QUOTE]
