Hi, my name is Brenda and I have also seen the Discovery Health show
on Archie. He looks so much like my son did at that age it was
scarey. I might add that I thought that Archie was/is adorable.
Anyway, my son is now 11 and Dr.'s are still trying to figure out why
he's so large. They once thought he had Prader Willi Syndrome but the
tests came back negative as did the testing for Fragile X.
Dr.'s say he's severly autistic although that was a very hard
diagnosis for them to give him because he is extremely social and
doesn't completely fit the profile. My son is like I said now 11yrs
old and is becoming violent with many many behavior issues. He
attacked his teacher at school (scratched her chest and arm)so badly
that she had to go get a tetnus shot from workman's comp. I don't
know where to turn or talk to. No one around here seems to have any
clue Does anyone have any ideas for me? I appreciate anything you
might have.
