When My son was a baby he would rock in his crib so hard, he would bang his head aginst the crib and wall-He Broke 3 cribs and 2 toddler beds doing this. He Is now 14 yrs old and since he was a baby I have had behaviroal issues with him-The older he gets the worse its gets. He still rocks,however does not display signs of autsim other than the rocking. I have always believed that he suffers from brain damage from headbanging. Every person he has ever gone or been testing with has always dismissed me when I have expressed my concerns. His main behavioral issues are impluse control,not following direction and viloent outbust. This has been going on since he was a baby. The older he gets the worse he gets. He has been in 2 boys,Inpaitient Psy hospital,and in and out of counslers. At current he has been made a ward of the court for Domestic assult and battery on me,he has spent time in Juvie for that and is now awaiting his punishment. And with all that he still does not get it. The dots just dont connect for him- Something in his brain is not making the connection. I have been raking my brain wondering why this kid is so out of control and these outburst at the drop of a hat and why its always been like this . Why has he never made the connection,why does he have this impluse control problem. I keep coming back to the possiblity of brain damange,More specificly “Frontal and or Temporal Lobe brain damage
“Which is the part of the brain that control behavior. Id there is anyone out there that might have any answers for me I would love to hear them. Im so angry with him for his behavior that i cant stand to be around him, But I wonder if it is brain damage then he is not a nutcase, and if Im wrong and just simply he a troubled kid then what,Juvie,boys home , what? What is the answer.Anyone please help. Im at the end of my rope.
