He...My 13 year-0ld son has asp, anxiety, and ADHD.<br /><br />He has increasing intrusive thoughts of feces. When he gets them he throws a fit and is sometimes violent. Any thoughts anyone has for me will be greatly appreciated.

She is in his Math and Science classes and he is obsessing over her like crazy and she has told him that she only wants to be friends. He will sit and watch his facebook page, waiting for her to get on, message her and she doesn't reply. He talks about her constantly and doesn't 'get it' that she doesn't have the same feelings. The doc said that it's just part of his OCD and put him on Paxil (no other meds have helped with the OCD in the past) last week. He is not eating as much as before, which wasn't hardly anything, losing weight, and his grades are falling (is an honor roll student and is getting straight F's in math-yes, I have spoke with the teacher). He doesn't have a cell phone (was going to get him one for Christmas), so he will sometimes sneak mine to text her or just get on the IPOD touch to 'text' or message on FB. I have taken EVERYTHING away until the grades improve and don't know what else to do. I hate so much that he is failing...he had a math quiz yesterday and we studied all weekend and til 10 pm for 2 nights and he thought he aced it and got a 70. I told him that I would take him out of that math class, make him have a tutor, etc, but nothing is working. I would appreciate any suggestions at all...thanks so much for listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-27385667082885766362011-09-05T20:27:43.430-07:002011-09-05T20:27:43.430-07:00Thank you for posting about this subject.

As I have OCD (intrusive thoughts), I recognised the symptoms in my early. it was difficult for menta health phycologist to recognise as my son was 4yrs old, they seem to believe that children under the age of 7yrs have true OCD. I found some information from a site on PANDAS OCD in children under the age of 7, but was mainly about OCD developing from strep throat infections, at the age of 4 my son did have a throat infection, but was there is a family history of OCD that starts in children in our family it’s hard to say what caused my sons OCD, I’m sticking with it being hereditary.<br />Autism QLD phycologist has also suggested to me that my son doesn’t’ have true OCD. My son Paed recognised the OCD and his was diagnosed at Minds and Hearts in Brisbane with Aspergers, OCD, anxiety and has a problem with hoarding. The list is endless. Really I just wanted to say thanks for getting the message of OCD in children with Aspergers out there.<br /><br />CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
