[QUOTE="maryntom, post: 493526, member: 13497"] Hi, 1. He was diagnosed by the school psychologist, which is why we're taking him to see his pediatrician before we make a decision about medication. I've read so many articles about wrong diagnoses' at school, but I can't be in denial about his prevalent issues. He has not seen a neuropysch and we are trying to get a referral from his doctor. 2. He had colic as an infant, but into his 9th month, it started to wane. He would scream at the top of his lungs at the slightest inconvenience, but when he was content, he would look up and smile at both his father and I. His health was otherwise okay, I breastfed him until he was 11 months, then we made the transition to baby food and then regular food. No speech issues to speak of. His favorite shows as a toddler were Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues and Bear in the Big Blue House. We started reading to him at an early age and got him involved in tee ball when he was five. He seemed to be doing well in his peer group, and even had a birthday party this year at Chuck E Cheese with a lot of classmates that attended. But he hates to lose, and will go out of his way to avoid it (shutting off the PS3 in the middle of a game). Because of this, he doesn't get a lot of invitations to play over anymore. He hasn't pooped at school (luckily), but this is the worst episode of soiling that he's had. He will soil, then he'll smash it in his underwear by sitting down on it or squeezing it with his hands from the outside of his clothes. I should also mention that on Wednesday he soiled himself three times. After he went to bed, I went upstairs to check on him and heard him talking to himself in his room. He was basically telling himself a story about how he had pooped his pants. I haven't heard him do that since, but needless to say, it adds to my angst. 3. We have no history of encopresis on either side of the family. His dad and I both did well in school with no issues from any of our siblings that we're aware of. Neither of us has done drugs, and we barely drink from time to time.
