[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 262664, member: 7170"] Wow your post brought back a lot of old memories, JJJ gave some really good advise; the book the Explosive child by R Greene is a good one and as she mentioned he should qualify for public school Special Education because I can't imagine him going into a regular kindergarten class like this. Our district they call it Early intervention up until 3yo then PPI (pre-primary impaired) for 3-6yo. I could be wrong but this sounds to me more on the Autism spectrum then adHd. If that's the case diet & therapies will be a big piece to the solving the puzzle. What helped much with Angel was I would jot notes on calendars (started them when she was 3yo) different colors of ink red - anger/hostility blue- sad purple- sexual orange- stealing/lying green - possible food related She had a bad blowout that went on for 14 hours when she was 6yo and she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for 15 days - those calendars helped the psychiatrist a lot in coming up with a treatment plan for her - the child who came out of the hospital I didn't know because she looked like my kid but this kid was a little sweetheart. She did very well on the medications they came up with for 2 years. You mentioned something about going to SSI (why not?) while down there apply for SSI because the truth is all this testing and therapy does cost a lot and if child qualifies for SSI medicaid comes with it - will pay for a thorough neuro psychiatric evaluation, developmental pediatrician, therapy, nutrician services, Occupational Therapist (OT), and even a psychiatric hospital (if it's needed) hopefully you can get some answers before that happens but its good to leave as many options open as you can. Don't lose hope what you're going thru is what I think back to as the dark days before diagnoses, and they were dark days. Dealing with the unknown was more terrifying then anything I've ever gone thru with my kids and once I had some answers it helped me to know which direction to look for treatment. [/QUOTE]
