Dear Christie,
I am working with a friend's son in the afternoons with homework. He is in the 2nd grade. He writes 90% of his letters backward. Sometimes he starts on the right side of the paper to write then going left. He can't read well at all. He tries to guess at the words. He has been tested for dyslexia by the school and they said that he doesn't have it. His eyes have been checked too. He gets frustrated really easy. He is 7 but acts like a 3 year old most of the time. He cries alot, screams out when he gets mad or doesn't get his way. Not like most children, just really angry. He doesn't eat either. He will only eat french fries and grilled cheese. They have to be cooked just right or he will through a fit. He only drinks water and milk. He won't drink juices or sodas. If you try to get him to taste something new he will vomit right then and there and then cry himself to sleep. He talks slow and babyish. He does have a good memory. I know something isn't right with him.

Dear A.,
It sounds like the little guy has a sensory issue... Has mom had him evaluated by a specialist in Sensory Integration Disorders or Autism Spectrum Disorders? That would be the direction I would go at this point. Suggest that she have him evaluated by a specialist in Sensory Integration Disorders in your area.
Blessings,
Christie
