[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 398476, member: 3444"] Without knowing much else about your difficult child, one thing came to mind as a possible explanation. You say he's got other medical problems and has had several surgeries. That's a boatload of stress for a young person. His rigidity or inflexibility could be his way of trying to exert what little control he has over his life which, up until now, has been very much out of his control, painful, and chaotic to say the least. It's good you've had him in therapy, and hopefully his therapist will continue to work with him on coping skills. The language delay has got to be another huge issue when you combine it with all the other junk he's had to deal with -- it's a recipe for meltdowns for sure. Is he seeing anyone to address the language issues, too? You've come to a great place here -- welcome! [/QUOTE]
