[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP, but this child needs a neuropsychological evaluation. He appears to have a mental health disorder. Evaluations are very expensive, but for both of your mental states, not just his, I think it's a worthwhile expenditure of money. Do it sooner rather than later, because as he grows, he'll get much better at dissembling and lying to others (ie, the psychologist testing him) to hide what he knows to be unfair treatment of you and his friends.

Which disorder is up in the air: it could be something as simple as a generalized anxiety disorder combined with autism that expresses itself in creating rigid criteria for satisfaction, and reflexive blame on you, because you're his safe person. Or it could be something else. Before getting targeted therapy, he needs a diagnosis, otherwise you don't know what type of therapy you need and how to being to address his needs.

Keep your boundaries strong. Volunteer on field trips if YOU want to. His go-ahead does not count. You're not doing it for him, you're doing it as a community service. [/quote]
