Jackie Christian could have ADHD. He sounds very much like my grandson, . By the time was 2 it was clear there was something going on with him. The poor little guy would run in circles with his arms stuck straight down by his side. He wasn't progressing in his language skills. What words he had learned was all he aspired to and didn't have the inclination to improve on the words he already knew. never slept when he was a baby. He never took naps and had a very hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. He was dxed with ADHD when he was very young and was in an Early Intervention Program. He loved his school and the teacher was a miracle worker. (That wasn't the same school district that went to and was

abused). is 16 now and is a wonderful kid. He is very smart and is an avid reader. I hope your daughter will contact Early Intervention for Christian so he can get help. Does he say any words? I understand how hard it will be for her to go against Christian's dad but she needs to put the baby first. The dad's refusal to get the help Christian needs could be considered neglect under the law. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Christian has been a difficult baby from day 1. He still isn't on any kind of sleep schedule and will keep going until he gets so cranky he gets combative. He also won't sleep in his bed at night, and sleeps with mama. He climbs and gets into everything, and no matter how many times he is told no, he screams and throws a fit, and those are getting worse. Terrible 2's? Not if they have been going on since birth when he would arch his back if he got mad about something he didn't want done to him, like a diaper change. He still isn't talking but a few words, and won't go to anyone hardly but his parents. Its rare if he lets me hold him at all. He was one that didn't crawl either. I think his dad has Aspergers but he probably wasn't dx'ed with it, and I don't know if it can be passed down. He does suffer from anxiety disorders, and

can't be

around large groups of people. In fact he can't stay at the table and socialize after eating. He has to be on the move or doing something all the time. Christian is a sweet sweet baby as long as he gets what he wants. If I tell him no, he will run to mama and hide his face and then start crying. He actually does that with anyone else too who stops him. His dad doesn't want to quench his will and thinks if he's not allowed to explore and do what he wants it will damage him. So unless he is bothering daddy he can do whatever he wants. But, its the lack of talking that worriesme, and he does have a fixation for pushing buttons. But its always buttons that he shouldn't be pushing, tv, vcr, telephone etc. Oh, and his dad refuses to have any psychological testing done on Christian because he had all that stuff done to him when he was growing up and had bad experiences. The scary part is when you tell Christian to stop he won't. He ran across a busy

street because my daughter couldn't run as fast as him and she kept yelling at him to stop but he kept going until he got to the other side. He's gotten into cupboards and eaten cleanser, and its a wonder he hasn't poisoned himself. The sad part is my daughter is genuinely a very good mother but she has FM, and she is very overweight and she has to do everything as her husband won't help out at all. Grrr, don't get me started on him..........!!

So she is overly tired, and if Christian won't sleep then she doesn't get to sleep, and she has always been one that needed sleep to keep her alert.

s sensitivity to animals sounds similiar to Temples. She lived on a ranch with her Aunt and Uncle and thats where she learned to observe the animals and understand how they thought. But when it came to people she was curious but didn't show emotion towards them. I think its a fascinating study of how the brain works, and what areas are in control of our thinking processes.

I was in Wa., but I'm in Oregon now. :-( [10 yrs?]

A weighted vest is often used for children with sensory issues and that is accepted and usual. hugs
