Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 So my son (9yrs old, AS/ADHD) is sick with a nasty cold. He had a REALLY hard time yesterday (freaked out when getting ready to get on the bus) and I kept him home for part of the morning. He struggled a lot at school… had his head on his desk, laid down in the principal’s office, refused to eat lunch with the other kids and wanted to stay in the office alone, and didn’t return after using the bathroom after lunch, and his teacher found him crawling around on the floor in the hallway. I kept him home today. However, what has me concerned this morning, is the fact that he had GREAT difficulty sleeping last night (And with that, I mean greater than NORMAL. He *ALWAYS* struggles with bedtime). Last night, after I had gone to bed, I woke up to the sound of him SCREAMING. I ran to his room, and he was shaking, crying, so scared. He told me that he’d heard the voices of two people, and they were telling him to “KILL”. He came to sleep in my bed with me, and was awake for a long time, whimpering while I rubbed his back. Finally he fell asleep, and I let him sleep in this morning, and he’s relaxing, colouring a picture right now, curled up in his pajamas and a blanket. Should I be concerned about this “voice” thing? Has anyone else’s children experienced this? I know that voices are often linked to schizophrenia, however he hasn’t had this be a persistent problem… so I’m not about to start worrying just yet. Thanks in advance for any and all info you might have to share !! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
