[QUOTE="SRL, post: 200110, member: 701"] Hi and welcome to your forum. It sounds like you have your hands full--it's not an easy job. We're only parents here so obviously we can't diagnose but we can give you some ideas on handling the behaviors and some help with research and seeking out a specialist that can tell you what's going on. Whenever we hear parents mention kids talking like adults we do suggest they look into Asperger's Syndrome, the highest functioning of the Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Doctors often miss it in young children, or mistake it for something else. I've linked a description below--keep in mind that most kids won't match the description exactly. The kinds of things most likely to be seen would be adult like speech, possible lining up of toys or household objects, obsessive interests--often interests that aren't typical for their age group, eye contact problems, being very picky about foods/odors/clothes, etc. See if anything here rings a bell: [URL]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/URL] You'll want to pick up a copy of the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene.
