[QUOTE="EB67, post: 49471, member: 3750"] >>I dont even know where to start. First of all, we got the report back and it wasnt as good as we originally thought. It said he was developmentally the age of a 23 month old. Sammy will be turning 3 on the 11th. He was a year behind when we tested him 6 months ago and it was thought that he would pretty much be caught up. I dont know what else to do. You have my understanding there. My Miles is 3 1/2 with pragmatic language delay. When he was initially tested through CPSE he showed significant delays-- he is due to be retested in a few months-- he has made great strides. I am hopeful that these kids can catch up to speed. It's hard to see though. Today for example, we were at the pool. There was a little girl Milo's age. The father was being sweet and chatty with him but it pained me to see how he and his daughter could not comprehend my child. Assuming he was much younger the dad asked how old he was. I told him "three". He said to Miles: 'When is your birthday?" and Miles answered: "Batman". He normally says Batman when asked this question because he had a Batman birthday cake and he speaks in associations most of the time. The dad and girl didn't know what to make of Miles, so they just moved on. Sad. My point being, I want to offer my understanding. Dealing with such visible delays is disheartening. >>to the other part the rips my heart out. He is so awful with me. He hits, kicks, screams, throws headbanging tantrums and is flat out defiant. Just to set your mind at ease here, just because he lashes out at you at three does not mean that the writing is on the wall, the die is cast and he will be this way from here to eternity. I am no expert, but I will tell you that at 3 Seb would hit, bite and kick me. This behavior lasted for about a year. At 7 Seb is many things, but ODD he is not.
