have you had him tested for autisim
I would have him checked for autism. Usually temper tantrums and speech problems are the first signs of autism and the numbers of children being diagnosed with autism have been on the rise in recent years.
It is hard to hear that your kid may have some sort of disorder, but you should take him to a doctor. It is highly possible that your son has ADD or ADHD. All of the things your son does are all symptoms of these two disorders. But definitely see a doctor soon. Hope all goes well .
Not getting enough sleep because of the sleep apnea or a form of Autism is what it sounds like to me. Im not a doctor but I have worked with older autism patients in assisted living homes.
Also if his eyes are bad, have you considered getting his ears checked? I do have a friend who’s daughter was actually deaf in one ear, which caused her many problems and in noisy situations she would just start screaming out of frustration because it was too much.
So yeah, frustration of some sort (not enough sleep, ear problems, not being able to communicate well) or a form of Autism is my best guess.
:( Sorry

Well sweetie you can get him tested for autism, or even turrets of some form it may be minor but I would talk to the Dr. and have him properly test him. He may send you to a counselor to help but you need to have him tested for sure. He definitely is suffering from some kind of problem but try getting him tested now because you want controlled and know what it is before school so that the school can help with him properly. You should also have him tested for his speech if he is not talking much. I have 6 kids and out of them so far 5 have need speech services before 2 years of age.
Maybe your son is autistic. Is there anybody in your family who is or has an autistic child? Or maybe he has and imaginary friend. Or maybe theres somthing biting him, like in his hair or skin. lice perhaps? i dont know sorry… Best of luck with your son and you!
I’m an autism consultant (specialty: aspergers), and it is worth looking into having him evaluated. (I don’t do medical evaluations… I am more of an "autism whisperer", I am not a medical doctor… But I can point you in the right direction to get a free evaluation/diagnosis if you want…)
I think this behavior is one of two things. It’s either a sensory issue, or a means of communicating that he wants something. (I can explain why I think those things based on what you said, but it would just take up time and space and in the end, you’d say, "Oh! Yeah, I see what you mean…!"
This is how I would handle this behavior next time, to see which it is… Notice what is happening immediately prior to the meltdown. (If you already know, then that would help me figure it out, otherwise, you’ll have to try to figure it out by watching him.) Sensory issues can be anything from bothered by lots of noise, a clothes tag bothering him, being held too tightly or too loosely, the way his skin is being touched, a bright light, a smell… Even a specific sound, such as stepping on an empty water bottle. (OOOOOhhhh that one even makes me cringe!!) See if you can see a pattern with what is happening in his environment when he does this. (Keep in mind that feeling being hungry, tired, or uncomfortable-hot or cold, etc- will make him more irritable than normal!)
If he seems to be perfectly happy one moment, and nothing happens around him, such as a light or sound, and he’s in his normal environment, he’s probably trying to tell you something. Does he stop when you give him something he wants? Example: Standing in the kitchen and screaming, but when you give him a cup of juice he’s fine.
For your own sanity, I would suggest slipping something into your purse such as a calculator, or something else that hs a cause and effect, and buttons. (A calculator is ideal, really.) When he is freaking out, give him the calculator and see if he calms down. If he doesn’t go back to being mad, it’s probably not sensory. If it calms him down, then I sould also get into have him evaluated even sooner, because spectrum kiddos love calculators. (Trains, too.)
I hope this helps…!

P.S. I help parents of kids with autism, specifically Aspergers. It’s a lot like the horse whisperer, but for kids and other individuals on the spectrum. I answered this question, here, because this type of thing is very interesting to me… Not only professionally, but personally, too. I do in-home and phone consultations, and my rates are very reasonable. After a session, you have tools and ideas to use and build on. You can email me, visit my website call at 28l-7O6-O42l. Otherwise, good luck and take care!
Sounds like yo may have considerably unrealistic expectations for having a child. You’re seeming to focus on what they experience could be like for you, instead of what your child has needed.
There are some medical conditioins that could be exacerbating this behavior, especially if he’s in pain, so you’re first stop is to his pediatrician …. and then to follow through with everything the doc suggests.
Next, a good familiy therapist. By this point, there’s a problem in the relationship between the two of you and that needs to be addressed in any case.
Stop asking amateurs here. Get professional help. (And asking "Why?" doesn’t get you an inch closer to addressing the needs involved.)
