I have time to post and just going to ramble. Brandon is still very disregulated from the holidays. It will be interesting to see how he makes it through the week when he has to go back to school. I can see where the ADHD medicines helps him but yet he is so quick to yell and scream over so many things you want to scream at him. But I don't, I just calmly remind him that it is inappropriate. This is where I wonder whether this screaming behavior and disregulation is the medicine reaction, his attachment issues, or maybe FAE which he may or may not have. Or a combo of everything and I know he can't cope with so much down time.
Teaching a child how to cope with everyday life can be very exhausting. I listen to other families that have similar type "label" children and yet they go through so much more than we really do. You try to describe your child and you get this cross eyed look like all kids are like this. How do you explain that yes all kids get disregulated but it is when they stop or cope with it their behavior can change and yet your disregulated child, can't do that.
Josh on the other hand, will get disregulated and you can say go to your room or let him have a tantrum and he will get through it. Once he realizes that he would rather play than spend time in his room or he melts down he can move on. Brandon just can't. You explain it once or twice or ten times and then within the next hour he is at this odd behavior again. He doesn't get it.

He sounds so like Daniel in many ways. I know how frustrating it can be when you've said something 10 times already, maybe after 20, he will get it.....Maybe 30????
