[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 557154, member: 1550"] I agree with a total evaluation for your son. I'd like to ask a few questions that can help us help you :) 1/Does your son make good eye contact with both you and strangers? Does he have any strange quirks or obsessive behaviors? Did he talk and walk and potty on time? 2/Are there any psychiatric problems or neurological differences on either side of his family tree? Any bipolar? Autism? Schizophrenia? Depression? "Funny" relatives who had nervous breakdowns, but did not get diagnosed? 3/Does he do well in his classes? Can he relate well and play normally with his SAME AGE peers? 4/Can he transition from one activity to another without crying? 5/Does he cover his ears if he hears loud noises? Will he refuse to eat certain textured foods? Is he fussy about what he wears because of the feel of the material? Does he "mouth" things a lot, like suck his shirt or put objects into his mouth? 6/Does he make any loud, high pitched noises for no reason or scream for no reason (I do not mean during a tantrum). Does he know how to engage in imagniative play? Does he repeat things he has heard verbatim, such as cartoons or things his teacher says? I am thinking your child is probably wired differently than other kids and is misunderstood and it may look as though he can control his behavior, but maybe he really can't. I would give him a complete neuropsychologist evaluation. You probably won't get the right diagnosis. at his age, but you can go in the right direction. To avoid getting him labeled the "bad" kids and to get him badly needed help in school, you will need one of these evaluatioins. Then you can advocate for help so that he can be more successful and perhaps even calm down. Keep us posted!!! Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
