[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 449175, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome to the board (sorry that you have to be here). How about answering a few questions so that we can try to help you with some advice. We don't have much information. First of all, it would help if you did a signature below like I did so that we know the dynamics of your family. Don't use real names. Is this your biological son? Any siblings? Dad around? That sort of thing. How was his early development? Did he cuddle, cry a lot, interact, walk, talk on time, make good eye contact? When did you notice that he was different? How does he do at school? Does he understand how to interact with his same age peers? Any psychiatric disorders on either side of his family tree? Has he ever been sexually abused himself? Most importantly, has he ever had a thorough evaluation? Any diagnoses? I would take him to a neuropsychologist before I gave up. He may have a disorder that is treatable...a regular pediatrician or even a talk therapist could easily miss something. Now if you feel he is still a threat to your other children...you may need to find outside placement. I'm not positive, but I thought I read about a syndrome where the child always appears to be smiling...I am not sure which it is...maybe Angeleman's Syndrome. I would schedule a neuropsychologist appointment. right away. Others will be along soon. [/QUOTE]
