[QUOTE="jal, post: 214257, member: 3477"] Jennifer - My difficult child rages, physically attacks, throws things, has a very low frustration level, been through 5 daycares, caused me to lose a job of 9.5 yrs., still on Seroquel uping it as of last nights meeting. He has been on Lithium, Depakote, Abilify, Tenex, Straterra, Clonodine, and the 15 stims I won't even list. He has destroyed his beautiful room in fits of rage, no longer has a door or light in his room, broken things of ours in retaliation, used to rip up books as an infant, is a flight risk at home (some times) and at school and daycare, has physically lashed out at peers and authority figures. Attention problem is HUGE! He is currently in out of district placement at a therapeutic school. The therapist at the new school was first to mention autism which has always been in the back of my mind. I reiterated that to his clinician and therapist (they are in home 2x a week) and they presented him at rounds last week and the psychiatrist on staff brought up Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) too. Thank you Trinity, your response the other day to my thread gave me hope and this does too. It just seems that there would be some light relief in symptoms with-medications if difficult child was bipolar and ADHD. We were in the running to be presented at a conference with a childhood bipolar "guru" next month. It basically in a free consultation for a symposim being held on the subjuect. I was really hoping for the free consult. Unfortunately, we were not chosen. I think becasue difficult child is too young. They had someone too old (13) and they chose a 9 yr. old. I was just really hoping for anther fresh set of eyes. [/QUOTE]
