[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 452714, member: 6705"] Hi there - and HUGS. LOTS and LOTS of hugs. This could describe my daughter to a tee. Now, I met her at age 8 - and she wasn't "bouncing off the walls", but she was manipulative, stole, spied, destroyed things... And it's only gotten worse. She's been diagnosis'd bipolar - but refuses medication at all - unless it's of the illegal or illicit variety. That said... O has so many other things in her hx that contribute. SO... A couple of preliminary things to do... Anything dangerous, i.e., sharp things - scissors & knives, needles, letter openers; medications of any kind; car keys; and anything you don't want stolen? LOCK THEM UP. This goes for his vitamins too - in large quantities they can be toxic. That's immediately. Next, see if you can get him into a neuropsychological evaluation. You may need a referral from his pediatrician, and it could take months. While you're waiting on the neuropsychologist, get him an IEP at school. The ADHD diagnosis should qualify him. At this point, there isn't much homework, so maybe you can get it eliminated as part of the IEP. Push. The school will probably push back, but it is his RIGHT. And then... Tell us more! :hugs: [/QUOTE]
