Dear GM,
His current symptoms are as follows:
He does not sleep well at night. He will fall asleep between 10:00 and 11:00 only after I shut off the television, lights and close the door. He's upset that I've done this. He will then wake up from 2:00 - 4:00 am and will be talking or swearing at someone. He will get up and wander aroung the house talking to himself. I will tell him to go back to sleep which he will reluctantly until 5:30am when I get up. He will get up and still is in deep thought. I have to tell him to go to he bathroom which he will without closing the door, flushing the toilet or shutting the light off when he's done. He needs to be prompted to eat his breakfast because he is in deep thought. When done, he will walk around aimlessly in deep thought, sometimes laughing to himself for whatever he's thinking of. Some of the things he will say will be relevant to a past experience. The other day he was so agitated when I tried to tell him to sit down that he punched a hole in the wall, said he hated me, swearing and ran out of the house. He came back in still in deep thought not remembering that he punched the wall when asked. He cannot shower by himself because he never finished the whole process thoroughly. He keeps telling me not to worry about him. He's always rubbing his fingers together as if something is on them. He is not affectionate at all. He will laugh at inappropriate times. He will repeat statements over and over. He stutters quite a bit when speaking depending on the circumstances. He will frequently put his shoes on the wrong feet or put his shirt on backwards. He cannot comb his hair correctly. When he uses the electric shaver he will stay in the same area. Poor spatial awareness. During the day he goes to a daytime program set up through the state for the mentally handicapped which he enjoys. He had good & bad days there too.
Today, I started him on neuro feedback which is suppose to help the brain communication with the use of computer programs.
I'm not sure if you need early childhood symptoms.
I hope you can get a picture of what I'm trying to describe.
I really appreciate this.
Thanks
