Props to both of you. I have a couple friends that have kids with differing severity of autism (Im not sure if that is they way to explain it) and I know it can be very challenging.

I have a 4 year old (him and his biological mom were our first two foster kids, she split and left him behind 2 months later...anyways..) who has some minor issues with Bi-Polar and ADHD, which I believe go together anyways.

There are time when getting through to the boy can be a real challenge. And there are times when I look at him and go WOW, he's really paying attention after all.

I cant see Sparty's video here at work, but I will watch it when I get home. Great thread.

when u put an infant on his stomach so he can learn to hold his head up and crawl. These days they suggest you always lay them on their back to prevent SIDS. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) that is amazing to me for a 12 week old to do that but I digress.

Good to set expectations high, because then you always fail. Or something like that... How does that old adage go?

Shoot for the stars, but watch out for the moon?

70% of kids diagnosed with ADHD/Bi ploar are actually Aspergers kids.
my oldest is the master of looking like he's not paying attention and getting every word. I warn his new teachers about it so they don't look stupid in front of the class by calling on him in an attempt to embarrass him for not listening.

those firsts are awesome. In a few months you will be wanting him to start walking. Then, you'll wish he was still not able to sometimes after he starts. That's the way it goes.

I still believe SIDS was a lot of kids suffocating on their stomachs on blankets, pillows, etc. That's jmo and may be an ignorant one at that. We were so terrified, my first kid was always on his back and developed a flat head in the back of his head. It rounded out, but flathead does occur.

His biological mother and father were both diagnosed as Bi-Polar, and father was paranoid schizo.

But, they were both also abused as kids, and had drug and alcohol issues as well.

As long as things are going as well as they are now we are not going to even pursue a diagnosis. Knowing his biological history and having at least a small idea of what we are dealing with, we think we can handle it.

It is the perfect study in Nature -v- Nurture. He is a great kid. He is thoughtful, caring, lefthanded jump passing quarterback, and he hits a baseball a freaking mile. :)

But if someone shocks him, like the kid in his class that jumps in front of him as he walks in the door and screams at the top of his lungs.....well...then he kind of block reality for a moment. And, when he gets in trouble at home, yikes. He can become a temporary nightmare.

Speaking of that, we had a return to NightTerrors last night, after going about 3 years without them. Im hoping that is temporary also.
