Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hello, my son is 6 years old and we don't have an official diagnosis yet, but we are pretty sure that he has OCD. He just started Kindergarten this year and that's when some of his strange behaviors started. He would spit on his shirt most of the day. When I asked him why he did that he would say because his mouth was dirty and he needed to spit out the dirt. Now it's the handwashing that's started. He always asks what if questions, a lot. Also, if he gets in trouble he repeats, I'm sorry, you hate me, you hate me, over and over again. We don't know how to respond to that. We tell him we don't hate him, but he doesn't believe us. Then he says he hates himself and it goes on and on. We want to discpline him for doing something wrong, but we aren't sure if we should be doing it in a differnt way. It's very frusterating. We have taken him to a developmental doctor at Children's Hospital to be evaluated and they tell us it's general anxiety and put him on Sitraline. We do have another appointment in July for Neurological testing, so hopefully that will give us some answers. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
