Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 My son just turned 5...he is not yet officially diagnosed, but all who work with him says he has all the symptoms of Aspbergers, anyway his scattered skills range from 24 mos. to 6 years. The problem is he's mentally like a 2 year old as far as acting on impulses, but physically is 5 so he can actually do the things a two year old can't. He has broken almost everything I've owned, jewlery, makeup, perfume, nick nacks, climbs up on my china cabnet, etc. I have tried timeouts and I physically have to hold him in the time out and it's way too stressfull on me to do it anymore. I've finally resorted to threatning to break his Buzz Lightyears every time he breaks one of my things. (he is obsessed with Buzz and the gang from Toy Story) He has a high vocabulary, but I don't know how to get through to him....as my mom used to put it so often when I was growing up " I might as well go talk to a tree " When I got him at nine months, (he's adopted) and when he was two...I used to gush about how calm he was...how he never got into anything....I long for those days now. Being a single mom with him and his 6 year old sister is wearing on me big time, tonight he broke my favorite necklace my mother got me. Does it ever stop???? I also have to help feed him...(he's about as messy as a 2 year old when it comes to feeding himself) If I don't get him juice or something to drink right at the moment he wants it he goes into the fridge and tries to do it himself and makes a mess...Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? and does anyone have any suggestions????
