[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 693363, member: 1233"] It sounds like part of his problems include a great deal of sensory integration disorder. His body doesn't react to sensory input the way most people's do. For him an itchy shirt isn't something that will go away or that he can ignore - his body and brain won't let him. I have severe sensory issues also. I wore my only clean dress to a doctor appointment 70 miles from home. For some reason this dress itched and it was on my brain every second of the 4.5 HOURS that I was gone. It was truly agonizing and painful by the end. This is how I react given my sensory issues. My food issues are difficult to manage. When I say I don't like something, I often mean I will gag if I try to eat it. Some foods, like liver and any form of coconut, cause me to actually vomit if I try to eat them or even if I get a strong odor of them. It can make like really tough and few people understand that this is out of my control. It is likely that your son reacts like this. To learn more about it, read The Out of Sync Child by Kranowitz. It explains the problem very well. I also think pot is a big problem for your son, but I don't know anything other than maybe rehab that will help. A neuropsychologist evaluation is a great thing also. Be sure to have them test for learning disabilities esp given his challenges with certain subjects. Another great book is Parenting Your Teen With Love & Logic. [/QUOTE]
