[QUOTE="Fran, post: 369459, member: 3"] Jensfishin, welcome. This is all very overwhelming at this stage, for you. Despair is common when we first start to unravel the intricacies of our difficult children. Remember that the behavior you see at 10 may not be the what you see at 15, 20 and 25. The belief that early intervention is the best hope for having a more positive outcome is what we hold on to. I can see your concerns with his behavior and creating a household of severe restriction. It's a tough life for us to act as policemen to our children. It doesn't feel right. My only suggestion is to replace the action you are denying for difficult child with a positive activity. No tv, but read a book to him. No friends but a nice walk with mom and dad. it doesn't have to be torture but it takes a lot of energy to be negative all the time. Turn it around into a positive activity. If he is raging, wait until he gets over his opposition and do an activity when he is calm. I agree with the above. I have found that no one will advocate for your child more than you. I found that specialists tend to always find their specialty in your child. It's up to us to take all the facts and make an educated choice of what your child needs. Most of us had several different opinions of what was going on with our difficult children. Time changes their behavior and current medical research as SRL has said. Your little guy has some big red flags flying with his behaviors thus far but that is not a guarantee that he will follow that path. Work hard now to get the right vision of what is going on with your son and the right treatment plan. Is there any history of "unique" behavior in the family tree? Alcohol/drug addiction? Any addiction? mental health issues? Unable to stay employed? school issues? suicide/dysfunctional behavior? You must turn over all those ugly stones of the family tree to help fill in the background of what is going on with difficult child. Welcome to our world. It's a sad day when you find us but this is about not being a passive victim to a label. We are here to offer direction, suggestion, and support. Occasionally, we share a good laugh and big success. We all used different methods, came from different family situations and sought various treatment methods.
