[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 445649, member: 11791"] You need to get a full-scale professional diagnosis done... he's old enough that they can at least be flagging "at risk for" even IF he's officially too young for some diagnoses. The "holistic" stuff is great... when it works. And, in my opinion, even if it isn't the whole answer it sure doesn't hurt. But you're probably going to have to go beyond that. And the problem is probably more than ADHD. (we have 4 different flavours of adhd in our house...!) Don't let them pin the "ODD" label on... way too young for that. Obviously, there's something major going on. The others around here are going to want a bit more history... How long has he been your SS? Any mental health issues or other diagnosis in his biological background? Has any testing been done already? if so, what testing and what professionals were involved? Any chance of some form of abuse in his background (i.e. before you came on the scene)? {{hugs}} {{double hugs}} You're dealing with all of this on top of being pregnant?! {{more hugs}} [/QUOTE]
