LOL Sky - tantrums....yep.

I've also heard the word "feisty" and "hard-headed" used to describe the behavior in the past. My father called my son "solid" - he never minded my son's "terrible 2's." Dad said it was to be expected - that's how they grow....live and learn in small steps.

This new disorder sounds to me like just another name/label to separate them from the rest of the kids in the classroom. Even if they are given pretty words like "special" or "different," they will still need extra attention, time and energy from the teacher, the parents and the community. They can also become a target for the other people to bully. Even worse, it can give the child the excuse not to bother trying to fit into society or care about humanity.

If the new expert's advice doesn't work, or if these unruly kids, parents and teachers don't follow orders - I'd like to know where they plan to house all these kids? I'd like to know how they will be treated if kicked out and left alone on the streets.

But what do I know.....I'm just a "freak."
