[QUOTE="SRL, post: 31030, member: 701"] I just went back and read over your description and I am suspecting you would have a hard time getting a referral with just this. I don't want to jump the gun on suggesting evaluation but I don't want to miss since you are seeing enough to come looking for help. Some further questions: 1) What does the family mental health picture look like--any bipolar, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, etc. 2) We're so used to defiance and explosiveness here that it would be good for you to clarify. When you say defiant are you saying that he doesn't obey quickly and easily or that he has tantrums that bring the household to a complete standstill for a few hours? (I just thought to ask that remembering that when my best friend described her daughter as defiant it was to her but she was a cakewalk compared to the kids we often see through here) 3) Are you noticing any quirky or unusual interests or behaviors, especially play behaviors? 4) Are you seeing any hypersensitivities to sensory stimuli like light, sound, easily irritated by fabrics, foods, etc? 5) The potty clogging issue is the sort of issue we frequently see in children with anxiety. Do you see that in him--fears of new places, things, severe separation anxiety, etc.? 6) Any speech delays or differences (such as adult sounding speech)? [/QUOTE]
