[quote=Anonymous]I have (had, actually) a friend who's DS is like Michael.  It was frightening to see how he refined his manipulation skills and he was totally without remorse - he was only sorry he got caught.  We knew there was somethign wrong with him even before he was a year old and by the time he was 3, DH and I agreed that we could leave our younger children alone with him - not even to go to the bathroom.  He'd hit them, seemingly unprovoked.  He either wanted to see what happened when he punched them or in relatiation for something that had happened days ago.  He also went into frequent rages, biting, hiting and kicking his mother.  It was scary.  Even though we'd been friends a very long time, we had to drop the friendship.  The mother (single mom by choice, BTW) was in a lot of denial about his behavior or tried to say it was similar to my kids who have ADHD.  Yeah, my kids have some behavioral challenges at times but this kid was in his own class.  I feel really sorry for her but I've got my hands full with my own kids and their challenges.  I just don't have the energy for her.[/quote]
