I hate to tell you this but some of this sounds very familiar to me. Try some different professionals because if you feel in your heart that there is a problem, then there probably is. Sometimes the "professional" can't properly diagnose because these kids choose to be on their best behavior when you take them in there, and they are actually trying to analyze the current situation or the doctor. Good Luck
Reply:TAKE THE CHILD TO A DOCTOR, TWO YEARS AGO HAS BEEN A LONG TIME. CONTINUE UNTIL YOU FIND ONE THAT WILL HELP HIM. IF HE IS ON MEDICATION, WHICH I'M ASSUMING HE'S NOT SINCE IT BE TWO YEARS .THE NOISE HE MAKES AND TAPPING ON TABLE ETC.SOUND LIKE HE HAS ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER AND HYPER WITH IT. HE SHOULD BE REAL ACTIVE, SUCH AS BOUNCING OFF THE WALL AS THE SAYING GOES. I THINK HE NEEDS A MEDICAL DOCTOR FOR MEDICINE AND A PSYCHOLOGIST

Reply:Stop feeding your kid junk food and coke. Sounds like he's permanently overdosing on E-numbers and sugar. And get him into some sports to burn off excess energy.





Don't be too fast to let some quack stick a label on him and tranq him up. :)
Reply:My personal opinion:








He just sounds like a kid to me. I know other kids who sounded like this, puberty happens at different times. Maybe hes just not into things other 13 yr olds do. It also sounds like add or adhd. But becareful to diagnose him. I think too many parent jump to medical conclusions.





Good luck.

Reply:Try asking your pediatrician to refer you to a child psychologist for a more complete evaluation. I have seen these symtoms before and think this should be your next step not diagnoses by email.
