[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 570207, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm sorry you are having these problems with your children. Who tested them? I actually think both should see a neuropsychologist. in my humble opinion they both sound like they are somewhere on the autism spectrum and you can't help them with conventional parenting or expect the same things of them that other parents do. I don't think therapists will do the trick, unless you are going to take them for seperate-from-neuropsychologist OTs or Sts, which are useful IF you also see a neuropsychologist. I also don't think it sounds like ADHD stuff. The fact that #3 is in a developmental preschool (my son was too) shows they are at least *thinking* of some sort of pervasive developmental disorder. Do NOT feel defeated. We all have your back. My own son used to throw holy fits of terror when I didn't understand his grunts and pointing or repeated words, and now he can speak and we have none of that (he had a lot of intervention and is grown up). I have a few questions for you that can help us. 1/Did both boys like to cuddle with you when they were infants? Did they look straight at you? Do they have good eye contact with both family AND strangers? 2/Did they reach all their physical milestones on time...walking, sitting, turning over, crawling, mimicking you? 3/Do they play normally with toys or do they take them apart, ignore them or line them up or just use them in unconventional ways? 4/Do they have any strange eccentricities, such as throat clearing, or tics, or eating non-food items, or making loud, nonsense noises or anything that you don't see other children doing? Do they rock or try to bang their heads? 5/Do they relate to their same age peers or do they play more beside them...or do they get aggressive with them or steal their toys? 6/Any sensitivities to change in routine, the taste or feel of certain material, foods or loud noise (outside of their own loud noise?). Others will come alone. [/QUOTE]
