[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 399776, member: 3444"] Welcome! This is really a wonderful community of support for parents such as yourself who are dealing with challenging children. Glad to hear your son is going to have a complete evaluation soon. That should go a long way towards helping you decide what the next step in his treatment should be. It's likely his diagnosis will change, in part due to the information provided by the evaluation, and possibly just with time as symptoms become more apparent (puberty has a habit of throwing a wrench in the workds). Part of the challenge in diagnosing children is the fact that their brains are constantly changing as they grow. It's like trying to hit a moving target and one of the reasons it can take so long to find that "magic cocktail" and achieve stability. To give you an idea of what some of us go through, this past year has been the most stable for my 14yo, and we have been in treatment since he was 5. It's definitely been a long journey, and I have the people on this board to thank for helping me through it! [/QUOTE]
