[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 26489, member: 1991"] Welcome to the site. With a diagnosis always be prepared to have it challenged. You do this to first make sure it is right, and second to check in case there is something else that needs more attention than you realised. If you've been lurking you will know t hat we often recommend "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. There is some good discussion on this book in our Early Childhood forum, to give you a head start. it may help you cope (especially as a stepmother) with behaviour issues. How much in tune on this are you with his dad? With bio-mum? If anyone is in denial it slows things down. here's hoping you've got family in tune, although this isn't common. I can't help with any info on local support - you're a bit out of my area! But if all else fails, support can begin with you. It takes one phone call to start a support group. From there, if the need is there, it can snowball. Delegation then gets it out of your hands if that's what you want. And once you have a group of like-minded people together, action begins. When you get a chance to find your way around, do a sig that gives us a bit of history each time you post, so we're always in touch with your difficult child (he who brought you here - your Gift From God). And if you can persuade difficult child's dad to read posts here as well, it will be a huge help for you both. Once again, welcome. Marg [/QUOTE]
