[QUOTE="Pinkmum81, post: 498664, member: 13622"] Thanks for the reply. He turns 4 yo next month. I have 6 children in total but only one other son (almost 7) who has also had behavioural issues but at both school and home - nothing to the extent of ds2 however. DS1 is suspected on the autistic spectrum but it has been a long road trying to get him diagnosed as they were reluctant to label him before the age of 6, i am hoping this will come in the next few months as he is due more assessments. My daughters are all 'fine', no issues at all. DS2 has had no formal assessments other than being referred to Speech and language for his delays which wasnt very helpful tbh. Although I have been concerned about him for years I was hoping he would just grow out of his behaviour, I guess I was hoping it was simply immaturity and he wouldn't need intervention. He was a difficult baby, really bad sleeper, good eater but very clingy. He always had tempers but like I said, they were directed inward at first. He refused naps in the day even though I knew he was tired so he would often just pass out on the sofa or floor through exhaustion during the day. He was the hardest to potty train and it took me till he was over 3 to get him out of nappies, even when I did he refused to do a no.2 anywhere but in a nappy, it's only been the past few months I have managed to get him to use the toilet properly for this. He feeds himself but is very messy, often uses his fingers, shoves food in too fast and will not try to use knife and fork, only a spoon and fork - my 2yo makes less mess at mealtimes! He obsesses about things, if his favourite programmes are not on tv due to schedule changes he will simply not accept that they are not coming on and gets angry with me and shouts at me to put it on even though I explain I cannot control the tv schedule. This can go on for hours, he likes to control everything especially the tv, he tries to make me only put on things he wants to watch and will get angry if I put on things he doesn't like. He has to know in advance what he is having at mealtimes, he will ask over and over and over again what is for dinner no matter how many times I have told him. He doesn't like people walking near him in the street, he says they are following him or looking at him. Even if people try to be friendly he glares at them and wont talk or be friendly. I could go on and on but think I've bored you all enough. any other questions just ask. [/QUOTE]
