[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 295339, member: 1550"] Thanks for the overview. But one thing you didn't answer is if he was an orphanage kid and, if so, did he get any love or nurturing when he was an infant until when he got to you? Did he have any one caregiver who held him, cuddled him, gave him attention? That's important with our older adopted kids--they can develop attachment disorder problems. It certainly doesn't sound like your son has fetal alcohol spectrum. If he was exposed to alcohol and drugs, even if he doesn't have the spectrum, it CAN cause neurological issues--I'd definitely see a neuropsychologist. That was really valuable with my very puzzling son. Also, if you know about his birthparents that also helps, but my internationally adopted kids came with very little information on their birthparents. Good luck with your little boy. It's hard for us to know what's wrong. And I suspect that, like my son, he will get quite a few diagnoses--and lots of disagreement, so it's kind of a journey of sorts. The poor prenatal care really throws off the diagnosticians... Take care!!! [/QUOTE]
