[quote=Anonymous]DS has been seen and tested by dozens of people.  We only know that he's ADHD and has SPD. Two have said he's on the spectrum. He's eight yo.

Today I made breakfast for him (usually dad does). Dad makes him dollar pancakes. So I made him dollar pancakes too. Dad apparently lays the pancakes out in a swirly kind of design on the plate. I didn't do that. He told me I needed to do that because he's used to dad doing that for him. Then I also gave him slices of canteloupe and he said I should never put fruit on the same plate as his pancakes; it belongs in a separate bowl because that's the way he likes it. Then later this evening after he finished showering he asked Dad to dry him off with a towel. Dad refused saying he's old enough to do that on his own and walks out of the bathroom. He screams to dad, "Get back in here!!!" Do you want me to spray you?" He is holding the shower head in his hand.  He has a total obsession (it's his perseveration) with electronic toys and other objects. He starts to take his toy "Operation" apart. I catch him and stop him from doing that. I tell him, "Wouldn't you like to donate that to a family with children who have no toys?" He looks guilty, but says no. I remind him that we donate thanksgiving baskets to the needy each year. I ask him if he enjoyed giving the baskets to charity or if he'd rather have the $45 in his pocket. He says he'd rather have the money for himself.

DS has lied and stolen before also from us and from others.

What's your take on this? What kind of disorder or condition makes a child so rude and inconsiderate?[/quote]
