[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619313, member: 1550"] A lot of our kids are only bad behaving at home...at first. They do all they can to "hold it in" at school and then it all jumps out at us once they are home, in their safety zone. As time goes on, untreated, the behavior tends to take over in every aspect of life. I'd still consider it. Just because one has a disorder, that does not mean they have NO control over it at all. It's just that it can get worse without treatment and better with treatment and that we can get duped into thinking that it is our parenting. I would explore further. My son NEVER acted out in school, but had lots of tantrums and unacceptable behavior at home. He is on the autism spectrum. With lots of interventions and community help, he is now twenty and no longer displays any behavior problems, however many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids still do, even as adults. I'd see a neuropsychologist. I've been a mental health patient myself all my life and have navigated the system very carefully. In the US, my strong feeling is that neuropsychs are the best diagnosticians of all because of all the intensive testing that they do that other diagnosticians don't do. So sorry for your sadness and wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
