[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 140632, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. Please don't allow them to paddle him and don't do it yourself as he is not being "bad"--something about him is different and it's not his fault. I think it's best to have him evaluated early. The earlier problems are found, the better the prognosis. I speak as one who has gone through the mill with myself and my son. This is not normal five year old behavior. You may want to do a signature below like I did. Now I have a few questions that can help us help you. 1/Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist or had a multi-discipinary evaluation? 2/Are there any psychiatric, neurological or substance abuse issues on either side of the family tree. The substance abuse can be a red flag for certain disorders. 3/ Any speech or other developmental delays in his past? Strange behaviors? Obsessions (lining up cars, switching lights on and off). Does he make good eye contact? Obviously, he has social skill deficits, which is also a red flag for certain problems. Does he rage? Can he transition from one activity to another? Any sensitivities to lights, noise, fabrics, foods? Does he get upset when things change? We can't diagnose for you and in my opinion you shouldn't try to diagnose him yourself OR try to fix it entirely on your own. He may need interventions depending on what the problem is. This can be critical. I do not think this is behavior problems that will go away. Likely something else is going on. Others will come along. This is a good, helpful group. [/QUOTE]
