[QUOTE="judytor, post: 164500, member: 5400"] Thank you so much for your input :) I truly appreciate all the great responses. We had a rough afternoon and wound up calling ds's psychiatric to see what she thought of the dr's recommendation. She agreed it was a good idea to take him to the ER. When husband came home, I talked to him about it as well. He doesnt think we should go quite yet. He thinks it will cause way more trauma to ds to be away from us for any length of time than to try to get into a psychiatrist within the next week or so. I cant think straight so I'm going to sleep on it and see what tomorrow brings. The hard part is, and I'm not sure if any of you can identify with this, but we have "normalized" ds's behaviors. Yes, he got ahold of a knife this morning and yes he waved it around and laughed about it....but he wasnt going to stab me with it.....it's a game to him.....it's a "lets see what kind of reaction I can get from mommy". The thing that gets me is that how far is he going to take that game? I mean today he's not going to try to hurt me but what about in a few months...... We've lived with ds's behaviors for so long that it's just normal for us to watch him throw a fit if he doesnt get his way every second of the day. It's totally normal for us to say to the other kids "Please just let N. have it....I know it's yours but just let him have it for a little bit". If we try to force the issue of sharing or force our will on him, he flips out and it escalates into a full blown tantrum/rage. I'm rambling.....I guess I worry that I'm making it out to be worse than it is but then when I describe situations to the psychiatric or the dr., they reassure me that those behaviors are NOT normal and they ARE concering. ......ack.....I'll keep you posted on what tomorrow brings :) Thanks for the support :) [/QUOTE]
