[QUOTE="buddy, post: 489600, member: 12886"] Hi, it is better you start your own thread anyway.... this is good. I am so glad you found us. As Janet said, that was a child where there were tons of extra things too. Many kids look like they dont (cant) follow society rules, and often they are high functioning autism or bi-polar or have adhd plus other things, there are so many possibilities. Many of us can relate to the behaviors you are talking about. At that young age (or that young of a developmental age for some of us) there is a lot of hope. What kinds of testing have you had done? How does he play with others? How were his developmental milestones? early, late, etc.. What is going on at school? What is his birth history, any thing on your or dad's sides (or if adopted birth parent) that indicate a family chance of problems? None of these questions is a judgemental kind of thing, believe me....WE HERE GET IT!!! Just when you share these details, many of us can say, oh yeah, I get that! Here is what I did, etc..... "Sorry" for young kids and developmentally challenged kids can often just be a learned thing. Something they learn to get along in society, but something they dont really feel, at least like we feel it. They may feel sorry they got caught. ADHD kids are developmentallly (at least socially) often very very behind other kids. So he is 7 chronologically, but maybe more like a preschooler. These kids do not get ownership as older kids do. they know it is mommy's but they stll feel if they like it they should be able to take it ... there is a great poem out there somewhere about the property laws of toddlers/preschoolers. All very true. They also have very blurred lines for truth. Truth is what they want the truth to be. Does he hurt animals? Does he hurt other kids, you? (many of us have that too, sigh). How is his sleep? How does he eat? How is his growth. Can he play games with others..... IF he can what kinds of games. I watched a little boy in the grocery store using veggies as "guys' to talk and laugh to eachother. HE wa sitting in the little kid seat in the cart. I felt sad, my son has never had imaginative play like that. He will sometimes imitate what others do or say, or imitate TV guys, but nothing new and built on what another kid says..... Not doubting your story at all, there are some really hard to figure out kids and kids who will have had behaviors for life. But trying to offer you hope here. ARe you in teh US? Other country? We have a pretty mixed group here so it helps to know where you are from. Hope you check in frequently. It is the weekend and on Monday you will likely get a ton more responses. There is a pretty hard core supportive group here and I have felt truly blessed to join them. YOU ARE NOT ALONE in this. we DO believe this stuff, so that wont happen again to you.... you might get questions though, since we all come from different perspectives and knowledge.
