[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'll go back to your original concern - your fiance's son's behavior. You and several PPs very quickly jumped to the conclusion that the boy is on the spectrum or has other SN. I'd be careful about diagnosing via DCUM; you obviously don't know a ton about kids or parenting, and we all interpret your descriptions through our own experiences. Here's my take: 11yo boys can be weird creatures, esp if they are not stereotypically sporty boys. They are ALL socially awkward and occasionally disruptive. It's a tough age to navigate, more so if you've got a big complicated family like this boy seems to do. Whatever his issues, you really need to take a step back and consider what kind of person you are marrying in your fiance, and how you are going to relate to a stepson who may or may not have unaddressed issues. In other words, stop trying to solve the 11yo boy's problems and focus on your own.[/quote]
