[quote=Anonymous]Our son is 8.5 and has never been easy. 
-low tone (didn’t walk until he was 19 months and still is weak)
-high anxiety
-low iron
-restless legs
-poor memory (as stated in his test results)

But as he ages, more things become problematic and pronounced…or maybe it’s just who he is and nothing is “wrong”…?

He’s very sensory seeking.
He used to be a great eater, now he’s cut his diet down to a handful of acceptable food.
He’s generally unpleasant and rude.
He is very stubborn and obstinate; it’s nearly impossible to talk to him and teach him things.
He’s wildly immature…we’re shocked he’s almost 9 but he truly has the manners and behavior of a toddler.

I don’t know where to start. We will have an upcoming visit with a developmental pediatrician, but I really don’t know what to ask for. He had some test when he was four, and I don’t even remember what they were. That’s where they nailed down the anxiety, and the very low memory.

Im just… Overwhelmed. He’s a nice and sweet kid but I feel like we’re not doing enough for him.

Please be kind. :)[/quote]
