My 7 year old ds has always been a bit of a handful. But for the last year or so he's gradually got worse and worse. He behaves very well in school although teacher says he needs reminding a lot of what he's supposed to be doing, and she doesn't think he's listening, but he's well behaved. He is a complete hell raiser at home and out of school. Runs off when we are out for a walk, goes off the path, climbing everything, no sense of danger. Bounces off the furniture, climbs everything, breaks things by being heavy handed and rough. Doesn't do any one thing for very long. And the worst thing is he's started swearing. There is a naughty boy in his class who we've had to have words about so it may have come from him, but he has absolutely no filter, he causes trouble with his siblings and then shouts and swears. He is never still, from waking up in the morning he's constantly on the go. He is really making home life very hard for us all at the moment. His older brother has autism, so we have been through the assessment for that, I just don't know what to do this time.
He can be really kind and lovely.
His teacher said she thinks he's just a typical boy!
