[QUOTE="jennifer615, post: 548447, member: 15124"] [COLOR=#800080]Well, I've just gone online and purchased "the explosive child". Should be getting it in a couple of days. I live in a small city of 120,000 and we don't have any neurophychologists here. The closest is in Sydney, which is 3000 kilometres away. The pediatrician I have been seeing specialises in children's behaviour problems, and I'm quite confident with her. She has put him in dexamphetamine as well as the Strattera, so he take his strattera in the morning, 1 dexamphetamine, and another dexamphetamine at lunch. He just started that today, so we will see how he goes. He spends alot of time on the computer and on his 3DS. He doesn't make friends very easily, but doesn't seem to be motivated to do so. He has got about 2 good friends at school, and his other classmates seem to like him. The headmaster said that he thinks that he is probably the brightest child in year 4. He is particularly good at science and maths and also very good at all his other subjects, but not really into sport. I noticed he is more compliant with tough teachers, specially male teachers. His new teacher is very good, but she is young and kind and gentle, and I think he tries to manipulate her. Thanks again everyone for your advice. It has been very very helpful. It's good to know I'm not alone. Sometimes I feel like the worse mother in the world, but its good to know that others relate to me. I've heard so many "can't you just ........", but if it was that simple, he would be under control now. Jennifer [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
