[QUOTE="odd&adhd-family, post: 372309"] It has been a long day and it is so good to have support on this end. After I posted earlier, my difficult child got in trouble for hitting two different kids at camp today, 2nd offense. Usually they suspend for that on the 2nd offense, but luckily he had just received "camper of the day" yesterday. This disorder is so up and down - it's all fine one minute, overwhelming the next. I thank each of you for your advice and welcoming. I am so glad I found this place, too. I hadn't even thought about the posibility of autism. I didn't ever think it seemed to fit him, but I'm sure again all cases are different. I will inquire further now. He does have a lisp and has speech therapy. Maybe there's more to all this. We also do have an IEP in place at school already. He was diagnosed in kindergarden, which was a very bad year for us all. 1st grade went absolutely wonderful, and I have to attribute a lot to his teacher who made a huge effort on his behalf to help him do his best. I fear that with a new school year and new teacher coming up, we could potentially have issues again. I am going to devise a plan to approach the teacher up front with the situation and hope for the best. It's very difficult on one hand to talk to my husband about my concerns because he is also AD/HD ODD. I can't express my fears about my child for the fear of offending him in the process. However, it is also a enormous asset to have him because he has a HUGE insight into my son's mind - being that they both have the condition. He so often tells me exactly what my son is thinking/doing and he's spot on. I do work, but took that time off yesterday to handle the issues at home. I also suffer from depression and anxiety myself, so i kind of hit bottom yesterday. I have found some great advice from you all here and found that I'm not alone. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
