We have an employee that is asking for help. I told him I would ask around. I am asking others, but the broadness of knowledge here never ceases to amaze. In a nutshell, he and his wife couldn't have children, so they adopted. The boy is now 6 years old. The boy has had significant behavior issues since a toddler. Now that he is school age, this seems to have only gotten worse. He has been kicked out of 2 daycares for hitting and throwing stuff at the teachers. They were able to get him into a public school where the same behavior is continuing. As the father, our employee is the only one that can handle the boy.

Along with the stress and emotions of see ing this behavior in his son, he is having to miss significant time from work to see to the boy, meaning to go get him from school, carry him to doctors, and to personally stay with him when he is having these episodes. He came to my office this morning saying simply that he needs help. I have folks at UAB I'm going to talk to, but also wondered if there were those here that had advice on how to help. Thanks.
