[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 609490, member: 3930"] Thanks for the support everyone! I really needed it and appreciate it. Yes, you are correct. We have tried counseling for Bubby a couple of times. It didn't make a difference. We have not tried it for Bug. Maybe Bug and I need to go. Yes, current sig is correct. He definitely does better when he gets physical activity - getting him to "go" or "participate" is a whole other problem. He used to be involved in Scouts and sports but it got to be too much getting him to go (transition?). We haven't tried a higher dose for quite some time. In the past, that always caused problems with sleep and aggression. ----- His behavior at school is getting worse too. I have had complaints from students and one teacher so far about his inappropriate language. He has had one official report of it as well. He is behind in his school work each week and I have been working very closely with school to address this. I am not owning it anymore. They need to work with him AT SCHOOL. I will not battle him on homework anymore (another post). The "break" I get is while they are at school. I don't think of it as a break much. When I am home and they are too - all of the behavior issues fall to me. There is little peace. For years I have been asking for a referral for a neuropsychologist evaluation but each professional I have approached about it says that is for kids with brain damage. The closest I got was two visits to a developmental behavioral pediatric doctor. He was terrible and told us on the 2nd visit that he was leaving and going somewhere else. He really dropped the ball. Our pediatrician just gave me a referral to another psychologist to have him tested again. I am in the process of getting that appointment set up. I also want to have him tested for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)'s - but that would require going back to the place in the next city over where he went to see the dev. pediatrician.
