[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 593886, member: 3419"] Ditto a possible Aspie diagnosis. GREAT write-up, SiriusHertz. Also, was his biomom a smoker? Just wondering, because the kids I know with-hypospadias and hearing issues had moms who smoked. It affected the flow of blood and the development. In fact, one fetus I observed on a color ultrasound 17 yrs ago ... and after the mom quit smoking, the baby healed, at least, in regard to the hypospadias. She was a potential birthmom I had met and the entire experience came rushing back at me as I read that part of your post. Sorry, quite tangential. :) I suspect that your difficult child is one of those kids you need to explain everything to, every single time. To him, ea situation is different. He cannot connect the dots until much later in life. I saw a lot of my son in your post, with-the exception that the math and handwriting would be reversed (mine has good writing and is bad at math). But the behaviors are very similar. At this age, it is soooo hard to tell whether you're dealing with-a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or mood disorder or both. But you seem to be doing the right things. Be aware that discipline in his case means consistency, not punishment. He doesn't "get it." My son would choose a spanking over Time Out because he could get it over with and go right back to doing what he was doing before (iow, what he was punished for). That was an awakening for me!
