[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 430757"] My boys were also sexually abused when they were very young by a family friend's daughter when she was babysitting them. A LOT of the behavior you have described is very normal for their ages at the time of the abuse like the peeing, aggression, "self-stimulation", soiling, etc. He might be hiding it because he is afraid of your reaction. Have you dealt with these things with compassion and understanding or as a disciplinarian? It sounds like the therapist isn't doing much good or you would be seeing some sort of progress after a year in therapy. It might be worth looking into a different one. We also had issues at home and not in school because home is where the abuse took place so it wasn't "safe" anymore. That was a huge hurdle to get over but we did. Sounds more like PTSD and maybe Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). I would go ahead and see a CHILD psychiatrist but make sure he/she has ALL the information. A neuropsychologist might also be very helpful sorting things out. Good luck to you and welcome to our little ?family". [/QUOTE]
