[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 205925, member: 5957"] Lya-Welcome! I am also in PA-near Harrisburg so we are somewhat close. Your ds sounds a bit like mine. Mine is 8 1/2 and very verbal and can fixate on something and have a complete meltdown over something so trivial. He writes very poorly. He was just examined by Occupational Therapist (OT) and they said he "just didn't learn how to write well". They are giving him a bit of extra instruction but nothing too urgent to them. He was tested at school and was said to have "a specific disability in reading". I'm still not sure what that means except that he doesn't read well. We are in the process of trying to find a neuropsychologist dr to do a full evaluation. Just thought I'd give you a little background. I just joined this board about a month ago. Already it has been a great place to come to vent, ask questions, and get/give support. As they say-"no question is a dumb question except the one that is not asked". You may want to make yourself a signature line which tells us all about you in a quick glance (see the bottom of ev1's posts). Also, you may want to read the book that is referenced here quite a bit called "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. And again, please kick off your shoes and post anytime you need. [/QUOTE]
