Man, I am sorry to hear. I, for one, can not offer any helpful information and I am sure 99.9% of the replies here will not offer much help either.. Your best bet is to probably go with what the doctors say.

Contact your local school system, they are all inclusive when it comes to testing and making placement determinations

Sounds like a classic case of terrible twos to me.


Tantrums and defiance sure but I don't know many 2 year olds that stand in one spot for 45 min.

Hope it's nothing and you just have a really stubborn kid, best of luck.

I can tell you're scared and I don't blame you. I've been there.

Get the cat scans done and see what the Dr. says. If nothing is discovered there and they don't give you guidance on the next step(I'm sure they will), I would suggest a trip to a children's counselor. This could be behavioral and cat scans won't tell you that.

You're bound to get some idea of what's going on after all of that. Don't give up on the kid man. Trust me, I know its hard but think about what happens if he goes back to foster care and some piece of shite ends up getting him next.

Wow.

Can't imagine that this type of unconditional love isn't lost on this child.

he won't budge if you tell him to do something. He will just freeze. It don't matter how much you yell, he won't budge. And he will fight and fight if you try to move him when he's spaced out. He will just stand in his room in one spot for 45 min.


Also, this is absolutely not normal. To those who called this "typical terrible 2's behavior," I can't even begin to understand why you'd say this. We have three kids. And never one time in the past 10 years has one of my children stood in one spot in his/her room for 5 min, much less 45 min. So yeah, probably should get this looked at.

I would first ask to get his hearing checked and go from there.

CT will be totally normal and is a waste of time and money

He needs an MRI


ETA...MR will also very likely be normal, but is much more sensitive in excluding a lot of important things.....requires sedation, but involves no radiation

You want to make sure they are not petit mal seizures. Also you definitely want to have an autism spectrum screening done.

So right when the kid might need someone to care for him and get him help its time to bail?


I don't blame someone for not wanting that type of responsibility.

I don't have kids, but I can imagine raising a child versus raising a child with autism is vastly different in respect to difficulty and responsibility.
