[quote=Anonymous]DS 8 is so much more needy than either of my other younger kids (5 and infant). He does not take care of anything by himself- getting dressed, taking cereal in the morning, tying this shoes, anything. Not even playing by himself. He won't even go downstairs and watch tv unless someone is with him. He yells and whines until you come with him. So basically I don't have a second to myself. It is very rare that I find him sitting and reading or doing anything alone. Right now I put the baby down to a nap and needed a few minutes to get dressed and tidy up after breakfast. Instead he is screaming across the house that I need to come down "right now" to play basketball with him in the basement. The only exception is his iPad. I hate to see him on it all the time but it's literally my only break from him. He is on Ritalin. He definitely needs something for anxiety though- he is constantly yelling at everyone and holding the entire family hostage for his demands. We are looking for a good psychologist but I really don't know how that will help him. He's so rigid and controlling. It's miserable when he is at home. [/quote]
