[QUOTE="michelenicole, post: 591403, member: 14386"] I'm going to try to address some things with my limited time this morning. I've looked in the Attachment disorders, but they all seem so severe. I've researched some of the spectrum disorders, too. They both have a lot of Aspie traits, especially the social problems, with B showing more developmental delays. I wouldn't be surprised if that is also a diagnosis, but I'm just not sure how to go about getting that diagnosis. B's developmental delays...speech problems (was in speech for a year, but, supposedly, tested on age level and tested out around August), doesn't know colors, doesn't know his name most of the time, often acts "clueless," for lack of a better description, when asked to do tasks, scared of EVERYTHING new, especially loud noises, constantly puts clothes on backwards or inside out (and then can't figure out how to fix it when he messes up), tip-toe walking, night terrors...trying to think if I'm leaving anything out that may be helpful to you. Oh, and bedwetting...we aren't too concerned at this point. We just buy Pull-Ups. But what's caused me concern is that T has had a couple episodes of having BMs in his sleep, but sleeping through it. The first time, he actually got dressed covered in it and got ready to go to school. And, even thought punishments don't work because he seems to have no control over what's going on, how do you handle things? Obviously, you don't want to just ignore the "meltdown," talking does no good, and we have to set some type of standard that that behavior won't be tolerated (just for the sake of the other kids in the house witnessing it), so I just don't know what to do... I've read The Out of Synch Child (for the sensory processing disorder (SPD)) and The Explosive Child, but, because T can't really communicate (he doesn't even know what caused the meltdown afterwards and because most of them happen at school where I can't witness them) I didn't put much thought to it, even though it seemed very insightful. We've seen most of the meltdowns at home happen when he's at a busy place, like Walmart, or when we have company over or about food (probably the one thing he doesn't have much control over at home). Hopefully I answered some of your questions :) [/QUOTE]
