[QUOTE="nvts, post: 212430, member: 3814"] Hi Cali_Dad! Trinity and MWM asked a lot of good questions. Try to answer them from not only your perspective, but from teacher comments, babysitters, grandparents, etc. Sometimes they may have called something to your or your wife's attention that maybe you never noticed because it was in a different setting. One really good suggestion was to get a full neuropsychologist done so that they can rule out a variety of diagnosis'. This will also let you figure out if the medications are helping or hindering. We had difficult child 1 taking Concerta (a stimulant) for 5 years and he was one miserable critter to co-exist with (it sure couldn't have been called "living"). Between the neuro that we had done and this board, I made them take him off the stimulant and we've absolutely seen a different kid. Don't get me wrong - I said "different" not "perfect!" He can frequently still be an evil little cuss! We're a good group with a lot of collective knowledge (and we have a lot of fun as well!). Welcome to the crowd! Beth [/QUOTE]
