[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529321, member: 12886"] Hi there, he does sound like there are several issues going on and you are working hard to find solutions. Most of us try the traditional stuff first, that's ok, you learned something and now you are on to learning other things...right? (would be great if those methods DID work...of course it would.. I go crazy when people say things like they need consequences, consistency etc... ummm, most of us tried that first...we would love it if that would work, but what if it doesn't??? Then we end up where we all are, smile) As far as the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) ruling out Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), she/he can't do that alone. Now she may have a good idea but remember, she likely sees him in a very specific kind of setting and she does not get to see how he communicates with peers, how he plays with his toys in free play, what happens when the subject is not related to something in the room or a predictable subject that has been presented to him, etc. To diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) requires multiple areas of consideration, so she may be perfectly right, but just keep open to others bringing it up if you find out through more comprehensive evaluation that there are concerns in that area or others....rather than his just being very stubborn, smile.
