Glenn is a bit of a weird one (I say it that way in the most loving way.) I feel bad that I have missed things in him. He has had speech issues which he was seeing a speechy for but she said at the end of last year she didn't feel he needed to come anymore as he would pick up enough from school now. He has always been a "mini Evan" follows him around like a lost puppy, and really he does seem lost with out him. One of the big things we use to have a giggle about was what we fondly call "lawn mower mode" where he would fast walk/almost run in circle every evening in the lounge room. Just a circle round & round. He called in lawn mower mode because it was always the same time of night before bed, like his way of revving right up before he conked out, just like a lawn mower about to run out of petrol. He still does this but not to the same extent. Probably because we have more of a bed time routine now where we have family time from 7pm, no TV we just sit & do homework or play games together. It is still very hard to keep both older boys from going crazy at this time of night though, they get so worked up & silly. Glenn doesn't like to wear underpants. He always puts his clothes on inside out & back to front. He can't put his socks on properly, they are always this muddled up mess which he will get frustrated with when he can see its wrong but if it looks ok he just shoves his foot in his shoe. He has trouble remembering kids names in his class. He has all of term 1 in his new class & still could not tell you another kids name if you asked him. Yet he can remember different teachers names. He teases animals, he thinks jokes about death & dead things are funny & it comes out at such inappropriate times. He is the only one of my kids who swears (nothing major) & he uses those curse words so appropriately placed! He will randomly poke, scratch or pinch me. I think he only does this to me? He shows no empathy towards others. Laughs at people when hurt/sick. Only one of my kids to point out & laugh at a fat person.
Complains daily about going to school. Yet his teacher says he plays well with 1 boy mostly & seems happy while at school. BUT also has melt downs about not winning or getting something right where he will cry & is also throwing things like he would at home at school now too. She said they were playing bingo the other week & when he didn't win he pretty much flipped the table & had a big sook. When he does do this kind of thing he is really vocal, its like a cow bellowing. Also, his teacher says he seems to go off in his own little world BUT he will actually answer a question correctly out of the blue. she said he is actually quite a sound student & had the neatest writing for a child in yr 1 & he is left handed, he is very artistic. When out at eh shops etc, I often have to tell him to "pop his bubble" as he walks with his head down & pays no attention to those around him. He yells at people, when talking in general you often have to remind him to use a quite voice as he just gets louder & louder. He also talks through his nose but I know this isn't his "normal" voice because if I say don't talk through your nose he stops. He will call out for something but rather then waiting for an answer he just keeps yelling till you somewhat snap him out of it & say Hey, give me a chance to get up, respond etc (Isla does this too though). He doesn't maintain any eye contact when you talk to him, you really have to get him to stay focus when you do have something important to say as he will just wander off & start doing something else. Talks over the top of others, interrupts etc.

Today he was tired though. He looked tired this morning & said he was. He said he hadn't had a nice day at all today & then once in bed he was out like a light with in 5 10 minutes max. Which is pretty fast for him.

Yeddi, I will have a look at that website, thank you.
Freya, I wish I could get them to understand its not ok to be so mean to others. It really makes me scratch my head.
Laura, I know how frustrating it is to have people dismiss you. I have been noting Evans problems since he was about 4, seeking help since he was 5 & he is almost 9 & I still don't have a set in stone diagnosis but I do at least have people agreeing with me FINALLY.
