[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 429095, member: 1550"] We would need more background information to take any guesses and, even if we do, it may be time to take him to a neuropsychologist for an evaluation. I think he actually could be on the spectrum, but I don't know much about him. How was his speech and early development? Does he know how to relate to his peers without hurting them? Can he hold a give-and-take conversation? Does he have an obsessive interests or quirks? It is incredibly hard for us to know what is going on. Do you live in the US? I've never heard of Disruptive Behavior Disorder. Different countries seem to diagnose differently. In the US, he would probably do well having a neuropsychologist evlauation and school/community interventions. His behavior is not normal...it is a good idea to get him throughly evaluated. The sooner you get a handle on things, the better the overall prognosis. Kids can change more easily at five than at ten. The longer you put it off, the more likely he will just get harder to manage and be more miserable. Does he have the ability to transition from one activity to another without a meltdown? Can he break away from what he is doing without throwing a fit? Can he handle busy places, loud noises, a variety of foods, all material clothing? Or is he sensitive to these things? Are you a two parent family? Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of his genetic family tree? Sorry to bombard you. The more we know, the more we can try to help :) PS--Aspie kids can make good eye contact with family members, often it is not so good with strangers. It is not a good way to rule in/rule out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Social skills are the biggest clue...and quirks. Aspies often prefer to play with younger kids or hang with adults...they are unsure of themselves with their peers. Having good social skills does NOT mean being friendly.
