[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pp again with son who has similar issues- I did want to mention that my sons issues are significant enough that he will not be able to go to a regular kindergarten class. We are in another state- and there is a therapeutic school (paid for by public) that is specifically for kids with behavior issues. He did summer school there and seemed to do well. We'll see how he does in full day kindergarten. I thought I would mention that so you know that you are not alone in what you are dealing with. I'm sorry- it is so exhausting and hard. I hope you can find a medication that helps. [/quote]

Thank you. It does help. I am so tired :( how is your son's language?[/quote]

I would say his language is "OK"  in that he can speak clearly and we can certainly understand him, however he struggles with expressive..sometime you can tell he is searching for the words to say. in fact when its later in the day towards bed his words take a lot of time to come out - I don't know how to explain it. We had him tested by a neuropsych and the testing said he also had a receptive delay. Now, I'm not sure how accurate this was because throughout a great deal of the testing he would not pay attention, got distracted or wouldn't cooperate.

He still sometimes says words in the wrong tense, and occasionally will call people by the wrong name...such as calling me Daddy, or vice versa. Sometimes says "he" instead of "she". I know his language delay contributes to behavior issues.
