[QUOTE="WSM, post: 272480, member: 5169"] I'm so, so sorry you are here, but I'm glad you found us. I am struggling mightily with my difficult child, so I have almost no advice to offer. I've had no successes. It may not be reassuring but your son sounds like our difficult child, with the exception of overt acting out: our difficult child is passive aggressive, his aggression is all covert, sneaky, and he relies on denial. Our difficult child started having severe problems in first grade. He'd hide under the desk because his chair was in the wrong place. He'd fall out of his chair alot (not to be funny or to get an affect, just fall out). He would sit at his desk and not work at times. He refused to do homework, and sometimes class work. He'd cry about going to school (why do I have to go to school, I already know I want to be a banker). He was sweet and polite, and his math test scores were off the charts. He had problems writing because if it wasn't perfect, he'd go slowly and try to make it perfect. Our difficult child started in appropriate peeing about a year ago. In his hamper, on his rug, in a pot he took upstairs, in a lunch baggie (!?), out the window, around the side of the house. He tried pooping on the patio but husband made him pick it up with his bare hands and put it in the garbage and difficult child was so grossed out he never did that again. Like I said, it's probably not reassuring to you, but he's not the only child who does these things. We'll help whereever we can. I have received a lot of support from this board. [/QUOTE]
