[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 169963, member: 1233"] hi and Welcome!! don't see aggressive behavior in autistic people? XXXXXXXX!!! MY son has Aspergers. His expressive and receptive language skills are very high, better than "normal" people much of the time. He also hated his sister, and was incredibly cruel and abusive to her. Much of what you are seeing really really sounds like Aspergers or high functioning autism. Heck, it sounds like my kid in a lot of ways. (my difficult child) I am sorry you have to deal with this. You really end up having to choose which professional to go with. Seems nuts, seems like they should agree, but they don't, they won't, so pick the one that is most useful to you. The people on the Special Education forum will be very able to help you with school issues. When behavioral issues are interfering with the ability to learn, for whatever reason, the school is supposed to provide help. So pop over to the Special Education forum and tell them what is going on with school, they know ALL about it! Have you seen a occupational therapist? the strange things he does, like shirt chewing, indicate that he may have sensory integration issues. A good Occupational Therapist (OT) can evaluate him and give you therapy that can help him with this. This is another thing that is common in autistic kids. But Occupational Therapist (OT) can make a BIG difference. There is a book called "The Out Of Sync Child" by Kranowitz, which is excellent at explainig sensory integration disorder and how to help. Anyway, glad to see you here, and we will be with you through all of this, as much as you want us to! (and we know you are not bad parents!!!, we have been there done that in some form or another, already) Hugs! Susie [/QUOTE]
