[quote=Anonymous]I am ready to give up...on my son. We have spent yrs on various doctors and therapies since my son was 3
Yrs old. At 2 he was occasionally unresponsive and played with some toys abnormally, and very hypersensitive to sounds and lights. At age 3, he was sometimes too shy to participate in playgroups. We put him in preschool and the school said he was not ready. He was unable to stop getting out of his chair during reading time and talking, asking for his fan. He had perseverations. At age 4, he was bent on using toys inappropriately in a Montessori school. He was banned from using several toys. At age 5, he needed the teacher's aide to continuously be at his side because he was distractible and would repeatedly obsess over the door's lock mechanism. This was his new perseveration. By age 7, he started stealing from classmates. He would not steal from friends but others. He stole small objects such as pencils and toys. But once he took a child's gaming device and another time a stuffed animal belonging to a teacher. He had in school suspension a few times and once while in suspension at the principals office, he stole a small decorative bird from the principal also. This year we bought him a laptop for school. He intentionally broke it, later confessing it was because he was so upset we bought him a cheap one. By age 9 he stopped stealing from classmates but still occasionally stole from us. Once he took our credit card and charged iPhone games. The last incident was this weekend. We visited my sister. Her son is nearly the same age as my son. Both kids were told not to go into her bedroom closet, where she happens to store toys. My son led my nephew there anyway. My nephew protested. But my son reminded him that his mother wasn't around. Then when caught, my son tried to put equal blame on my nephew.

Doctors have said he was ASD. Some insist he is not though. He has ADHD and is on medication. With meds, he is less hyper, but still disobedient athome and school. I feel like giving up trying to look for help for him. Please help.[/quote]
