[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 197776, member: 3626"] Another welcome and a huge cyber HUG. Is there any chance the biomom drank while pregnant? Some of his behavior really sounds like it could be fetal alcohol effect. Not a good thing because it is organic and, as yet, there is no medication that helps it although some medications will control some of the actions. I'm surprised that none of the medications you've tried have helped. I know there are several moms here who are very well conversed in the medications. Hopefully, they can help you figure out whether the dosage, etc. was high enough. About the only thing I know is that resperidol makes people incredibly hungry, so that could be part of the food stealing issue. My daughter stole food but for her it was a comfort issue -- she suffered severe neglect when she was young. I would definitely have him checked for learning disabilities. The absolute refusal, the melt downs are good tactics to not do what you can't. For many kids, being labeled "bad" is far better than being stupid. I agree that a neuropsychologist evaluation would be a good thing. Definitely read The Explosive Child. Another book that might be good for you is The Defiant Child by Riley. I hope you get some answers and some help. You've taken on quite a heavy load. We'll be here for you when you need us. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
