[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4yo son has ADHD combined and ASD.  He gets along well in a normal preschool classroom with supports, and receives speech and OT outside of school.  He's a generally sweet, passive child who has lots of friends and isn't horribly difficult to manage.  However, the last few weeks have been AWFUL.  His defiance is at an all time high.  Fighting with us constantly over everything.  Won't eat.  Won't listen at all.  When told to do something (or stop doing something), he either is non-responsive or says no.  If you tell him he can't have something, he will ask for it over and over and start getting pushy if rejected.  His obsessions are also getting stronger and it's more difficult to turn his attention elsewhere.  If I tell him to go to his room, he'll refuse to go and I have to chase him down to take him, where he will then throw his belongings.  His energy is constant and his sensory-seeker behavior is off the charts.  He's had brief periods like this, but never for this long or this bad.  And he's only doing this at home.

So those who have experience - what's going on here?  He is not medicated for the ADHD, although we see it in the future.  He gets some AA, but only in school and not at home.  He eats well (what little he'll eat), sleeps okay, and gets a ton of activity.  He's driving us nuts.  Any advice, or just a pep talk, would be appreciated!       [/quote]

OP here - I meant ABA, not AA.  I might need AA  :lol: [/quote]
