“Just Kidding. Tricked Ya!”

Moshe’s mom had been a strong supporter of homeopathy for some time and was eager for us to find a medicine that could help him. He also suffered from Von Willebrand disease, a haemophilia-like condition due to a genetic platelet abnormality. She called from Brooklyn for us to treat him and we have only seen him in person one time in the past seven years. He was ten at the time of the first appointment.

“We’ve been seeing a psychologist for the past six months. Moshe is a clowny kind of character. Silly at inappropriate times. He likes to trick people. Make funny noises. Animal noises. We’ll be in the car and I tell him to buckle up. He pretends that his seatbelt is not fastened then tells me, “Just kidding. Tricked ya.” Or he takes her shoe from his sister and hides it. Then he’ll look at me and smile. He’s an expert at pushing me to my limits. Let’s pull the wool over mom’s eyes. Or he’ll pretend to be pumping up his head, then falls to the ground. If he’s tired, he’ll whack his younger brother or call him a name. A lot of it is to try to get attention. Let off steam. Or he’ll make noises. He loves comic books because they’re funny and easy to read. Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, Garfield. Or he’ll watch cartoons.”

“Moshe loves to build and invent. In fact, he wants to be an inventor when he grows up. His gross motors skills are not great. It took him a long time to learn to ride a bike and he’s not very good at baseball. He’s not a risk-oriented kid. I couldn’t see him climbing a tree. He’ll play on jungle gyms and bars, but I have to twist his arm to get him on his bike or skates. Moshe is quite talented at figuring out how things work.”

“Hebrew school is challenging. Academically he’s falling behind in everything. Struggling. If I try to sit down and show him how to do something, he says he already knows it, but he doesn’t. Then he tells me he can’t do it and, by the time we get to the next problem, he’s forgotten the one before. I have to go through all the steps again and he fights me every step of the way. ‘I’m gonna do what I want and you can’t make me.’ Moshe is obstinate with his teacher. He’ll keep it up until she puts her foot down.”

“Moshe can be quite oblivious. He doesn’t notice bad smells. When the television is on, the house could come crashing down around him and he wouldn’t notice. Once, when he was three, he bolted and I lost him. Moshe could not have cared less. I don’t even think he was scared. He’s prone to throwing temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. He can be angry, obstinate, and defiant. We have had to drag him out of restaurants because he refused to stop playing a video game.
