[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 400922"] I can tell you that my son, who is 11, can be rude, he lies, he tell me that he hates me and his little brother, he will have screaming meltdowns that can last for hours when he doesn't get his way. And he is also a straight A student. Go figure! Don't be embarassed to call the pediatrician and ask for the referral to a neuropsychologist. You may need it for your insurance. Agree with your husband before hand that if he refuses to go that you will pick him up, put him in the car, and someone will sit with him in the back seat until you get where you need to go. We had to threaten our difficult child with this because he said that he was not going to go when we had him evaluated, and that once we got him there he was going to tear apart the office of the doctor. I told him go ahead. Then everyone would be able to see what we have been talking about. In the end, he did not do any of it, but I think that was because he knew he was not going to get his way. His dad and I were in agreement that he had to go and we were going to make him go if it came to that. How is his behavior in school? Does he ever give any of the teachers a hard time? Can you call his guidance counselor and ask if there is anything the school can offer you? Tell him/her that you believe that he's on the spectrum and see what they can do for him, if anything. I agree with the other that you have to be careful when him and his brothers and sister. I know that I don't like to leave my difficult child alone with easy child. When they go down into the basement to play I always make sure that the door is open so that I can hear what is going on. I try to be in the same room with them so that one can't start with the other. Also remember that you need to take care of yourself as well. If you are not strong you will not be able to care for your family the way that they need. Pam [/QUOTE]
