[QUOTE="buddy, post: 526803, member: 12886"] Hi there, welcome! I agree with the others that there is more to this. You said it feels like defiance, and that could really be true (I mean choosing to wear the diapers at all times etc....) but it could also be that he is very rigid in his rules, since he does sound like he has some overall disability (cognitive issues, the history, attachment stuff, etc.).... Has he ever had a neuropsychological evaluation? Has he had an Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) evaluation? Autism evaluation? etc....you have likely done much of that but I didn't see it mentioned so just bringing it up in case. You mentioned several issues with abandonment etc...and his being more possessive of you, does he have Attachment Disorder (or reactive attachment disorder).... bm issues can be a big part of any of those three, and our adopted/hurt kids can also have more than one of these. Neuropsychs can gave a broader diagnostic viewpoint to things, looking at developmental, mood based, psychiatric, etc...diagnoses. This may seem like a very odd suggestion, and I am not even sure if there is such an option out there. I wonder if there is a treatment facility where he could stay for a short time (like a hospital stay) where they could work on this....If he has sensory or autism like features, an autism treatment program likely would have the most experience with this kind of behavior and be able to handle it in a positive behavioral way....maybe using ABA or some other kind of therapy. Or having in home people who can really take you out of the equation. I am sure it is virtually unheard of but it is one of those brain storming things....... OH well, welcome to the CD board, and really glad you have found us. There certainly are people here who get poop issues, even with older kids. My son thank heaven had his last pooping outside of a toilet episode when 8ish. He actually remembers it! Hang tough and I hope someone who has lived it comes along....maybe Esther?? has some ideas??
