If he is having trouble joining other kids and playing/making friends because of his actions, I definitely think you should consider taking the next step. I can't imagine how hard it is to deal with a child like that...only a parent could understand being so in love with your child, and so completely fed up with him all at the same time. Good Luck!

He just seems to have more rage than the other kids.

I was a really easy-going kid growing up. I mean, I would actually analyze as a young child the cause and effect of things. If it wasn't worth the consequences, it wasn't worth doing. My son has no concept of consequences because everything is in real-time for him - immediate gratification or nothing. He is just incapable of putting aside his own needs for something later or someone else.

Thanks for the well wishes
