[QUOTE="buddy, post: 507696, member: 12886"] HI and welcome... Can I ask about the SI diagnosis? What are you doing about that? It often coexists with other diagnosis and you have the adhd diagnosis. Has he been evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorder? Kids can look very typical and have very high functioning autism or Asperger's and can be mis diagnosis. as bipolar, adhd/odd/anxiety (though some of these can be symptoms under the umbrella of autism)... have adhd medications worked? If not, may be more the SI symptoms.... Does he go to an Occupational Therapist (OT)? Has he had a speech/language evaluation for auditory processing/language processing and social communication issues? My son was on Risperdal and became way more aggressive than his original levels of aggression. Has he tried any mood stabilizer medications? (the ones for bipolar)... Every child is different and so I am just throwing things out there... If he is bipolar it is wonderful you found a doctor who will treat it....it amazes me that a child with this diagnosis is left to suffer (as many with autism are) because people want to avoid a label. My response to that is every child with behavioral challenges is labeled, I would prefer an appropriate, not gossip or frustration based label such as "troubled child" "rude" "disrespectful" "frustrataing".... on and on.... Just MHO. I am so glad you posted, I know there are others here whose stories come close to yours. It is a long and challenging road to parent our kids and you have found a place where many people understand that. Happy to get to know you! Dee [/QUOTE]
