[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 197932, member: 1550"] I would have them re-evaluated. They sound like (although I can't diagnose) they could have Aspergers Syndrome, which is high functioning autism, and that would explain both why they are so smart and why they are so difficult. NeuroPsychs are the best diagnosticians. They test for hours on every single level. You won't get that from a regular therapist. I'm guessing this is more than just ADD and I'd want to make sure the kids were checked out head to toe. NeuroPsychs can be found in university hospitals and children's hospitals, and can really help you understand your children. I don't think punishments will change them. Here is a link explaining Aspergers. These kids are very literal, but don't understand other people and often seem to lack "empathy" and tend to be socially clueless: [URL]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/URL] [URL='http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/'][/URL] [/QUOTE]
