[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 213604, member: 3907"] Ahhh, the stripping of the room. Sorry difficult child is still so volatile. I really hope that you get clear information from the psychiatrists and assessors soon, so that you can start to pinoint what's going on with him. Glad to hear that you carried on with dinner as normal (well, as normal as possible in the circs) while difficult child raged upstairs. The baseball card incident gets me thinking though...difficult child loved having his room cleared. I suspect that having no stuff, having a clear visual field in front of him with nothing to see, interpret or organize in his head was a relief to him. Then having one stray baseball card...no doubt it defied his sense of order and he felt a really strong urge to put it away and impose complete order on his surroundings. The pitching of the fit was totally inappropriate though. I wonder if there's a way to help your difficult child express whether he feels that way. I know that for me, clutter literally short circuits my head. I feel--and hear--a little static electrical buzz every time I look at piles of disorganized stuff. Usually I reach a trigger point where I have to tear a room apart and rebuild it from the floor up. With your difficult child possibly on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum, I wonder if he has something similar... Sorry for the rambling. I'm having a very hard time focusing today, but I wanted to get these thoughts out. Trinity [/QUOTE]
