[QUOTE="llamafarm, post: 514558, member: 14085"] Susiestar thanks for your input. Yes, he is on four medications. Celexa (generic citalopram), Tenex was the one I missed, vyvanse and abilify. My husband and I have wondered about bi-polar, but as many have told us he is never not himself. What I have heard is that there would be times that his personality would be not his normal self. My husband still guesses it might be there. I am certain we need more evaluations. I will be looking at the books that were recommended. He began this sort of behavior at the end of second grade, medications stayed the same when it started then added to what he had to help with the aggression. The abilify has seemed to lessen the behavior. Only know this because when we took him off of it a year ago he was out of control.. Off to the counselor today, to discuss and have him discuss. Of course as far as I see it has no impact, but it does keep him busy. after that he goes to respite until evening. Tomorrow husband is home and I get to go to work in the evening. Keeping difficult child busy keeps him from aiming his aggression at me. And as I said he aims it mostly at me. The aggression at this point that he shows his sis is only for my benefit (as far as I know). If I don't respond right to his hitting me he tries a nudge at his sis. This does get response. I take her and lock ourselves in my bedroom. He calms down and goes on as if nothing has happened. [/QUOTE]
