[QUOTE="Dara, post: 176451, member: 3572"] That really is our big issue. He does have these abilities and he does use them at school or in therapy or other places but at home or even out with us, he is a completely different child. A lot of people I know who live other places have mentioned the possiblitly of him being Bipolar and I said we would not be surprised in the least. He was 4 in june, he does in fact have impulse control issues, he does have issues with having a thought in his brain not necessarily sharing that thought with us and acting on whatever emotion is with that thought. What I mean is he will be playing or sitting and eating or whatever the activity and suddenly get furious and throw whatever it is that he is holding. He gets instantly irrate and nobody knows why. It is like he thought about something that really made him mad and he acted on it instantly. With Sammy, even if you know something is going to make him mad, there is no build up. It is instant rage and you cant reason with that. You cant calm him or get him out of it. Many times, when it is over, he has no idea what it is that he has done it seems. I dont know for sure because we can never get any accurate information from him. Like talking to a brick wall might actually be easier than trying to talk to Sammy. When he is in a good mood like today, he used good words and we could have conversations he pretended to be the teacher and I was the class, he had a playdate . He only had 4 or 5 major incidents today. Today was a fabulous day. Yesterday, was a day full of rages from the time he woke up until he went to bed. There was little to no communication. Could not ask him a simple question like "do you want juice" HE would not respond to anything, he would kick me hit me do whatever he could to hurt me. It was a day of what the heck do we do to stop this! Since we came back to regular school, we have not had one bad report. They talk about how much fun he is and how talkitive heis. He sings his heart out to all of the songs and his a little comedian. I dont get it! How does one young child have 2 such drastically different personalities! Oh, as for the potty training, he doesnt go on the toilet. The therapists are going to do a potty party but not in our house and without us involved in the begining so he actually aquires the skill. We did try neuropsychologist and he didnt help at all. he didnt even examine Sammy. It was a crazy appointment. I need things to get better. First they said once he speaks his behavior will get better, well he is speaking and no change. There has never been any change in his behavior. We need someone with a plan who understands that Sammy is quite bright and the normal tricks dont work on him. We need someone who thinks outside the box and recognizes Sammy for how he is and understands what might help him instead of saying I dont know or hmm and leaving us hanging with no clue of what to do!
