[QUOTE="SiriusHertz, post: 594156, member: 16270"] All three of my posts are showing up now - sorry they took a bit, and also for the length and complexity of the situation. Its not simple, which is why we've been having such a hard time getting tdocs of any stripe to understand it. The last one took 6 months to realize we were co-parenting effectively before she would even consider that the situation, while obviously not a traditional nuclear family, is not the only thing going on. I was never so happy to see a tool as I was to learn about the parent report - and we sat down and wrote one that runs to 10 pages! I'm sure it will help; it already is here. Thank you all for the insights. We initially thought Aspergers/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as well. It was ruled out by the first therapist on the grounds that he has entirely too much imagination to fit into the diagnosis. Terry, that sounds exactly right - no concept of taking a lesson learned in one social situation and applying it to a different situation. If the first situation reoccurs he can apply the instructions we gave him - unless he gets so over-emotional that he looses control. Then, who knows. His mom didn't and still doesn't smoke, nor do I - although his stepmom does (I'm still trying to get her to quit). Midwest, I am often frustrated with my various kids - but I know that the behaviors at this level are not things they can control (or they would be), and also that calling them names won't help anyone. No worries about confusing me with that other guy though :-) He sounds like a very frustrated father. difficult child 1 has the first appointment with a psychologist for a more comprehensive assessment this morning; we're all anxiously awaiting the results.
