I'm looking for more knowledge to help my son. I have OCD and am wondering/afraid are some of his ADHD issues picked up from me. ex: He *hates* when things don't go exactly as planned. His new jeans are Regular not Slims (they have the little elastic adjustment band in them) so that means that he can't wear them. Not even to try them on. If his morning doesn't go just the way "he" thinks it should go it is a nightmare to get him ready for school.
Is this normal????, or is he just needing an excuse to act like a spoiled brat.........(Trust me he is not spoiled in any way shape or form).
He can be a very caring empathetic child, he just has his moments.
Any help ar advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks Tigerma

Ps. Have an appointment Monday to have evaluation for "Special Ed" assistance from his school.
Thanks again
