[QUOTE="Ellenm0m, post: 449024, member: 12491"] My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 6 and we have been "trying" new prescriptions on him since...last November he suddenly turned very violent and angry. Finally coming to a head when he tried to set his bedroom on fire after getting in a fight at school and being brought home by the police! We admitted him to an inpatient facility for 2 weeks, where they took him off of the Concerta (which was NOT good for his Asperger's) and called myhusband and I in to talk. He said it looked more like Asperger's with Pscho-Effective Bi-Polar Disorder. Aparrently, when he gets depressed, he hears voices.. Also, he is fascinated with fire and internet Porn. Unfortunately, he is so smart that he has hacked into my laptop twice to create a profile to get around the net nanny to view the porn. He is normally a sweet, loving kid who likes to sit close (in my personal space) and play card games and computer games, but when he hit puberty (apparently last November) he was replaced by a monster. I have two little girls (5 and 6) and DO NOT want porn viewed in my house, plus, when he lights matches, he does not make sure they are out, so we have to hide all matches, lighters, etc. Even the BBQ lighter cannot be left in the kitchen. Looking for any advice anyone wants to offer - both husband and I work full time, so home school isn't really an option, we cannot trust him at home alone for 8 hours, and he is NOT doing well at school (He got straight a's through 6th grade but as soon as he started middle school he started failing - changing classes is not easy for him). Mostly fighting, and he doesn't do his homework. The police were called twice last year. He will be in a new school this year, but still not sure what kind of accomodations to ask for on an IEP, and he says if we put him in Special Education classes he will not go to school at all.
