[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 481343, member: 11016"] Right now, his diagnosis are: Depression, ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I am not confident AT ALL that this is the right diagnosis. Or not the main one. I highly suspect Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... I think we are medicating symptoms of something bigger. And the medications aren't cutting it. Or maybe they ARE helping--I'd hate to see how he would behave if he was on nothing. While he doesn't have a "real" diagnosis for the mood disorder...he is being medicated to help with them. As far as the season contributing... I dunno. I have Bipolar, seasons don't play into my moods at all (or to my knowledge haha). He has just recieved some evaluations from the Special Education here in my county, for possible IEP. I do not have the results, no one has called to schedule a meeting or tell me results. And he has an appointment with a Psychologist for another evaluation on Nov 29th. I am so (horrible I know) WANTING them to tell me something is WRONG. Mainly to be able to be on the right track in helping him (and me) and, because it will validate all my "mommy gut" feelings. He had another tantrum this evening over the computer with his sister. More screaming. More "You all hate me"! I tried talking to him but I couldn't get him to stop yelling and screaming to listen to anything I said. So I left his room (mad). I talked to his sister (she's 11) at length and for the first time told her everything. How he is different. How he is wired differently. How he can not help most of his fits. How it is so easy to escalate him to a tantrum/rage. I told her it is NOT funny to "poke the bear to watch it have a fit". I told her of all his problems at school. How I think he is "sick" and needs ALL of our help. How he is being tested by professional doctors to try and figure out how we can help him. She was very touched. I asked her to help by not irritating, aggravating or frusterating if she can help it. She promised to help. After I talked to Claudia I went to talk to Carson. He had calmed down. I told him that he was on a "break" from the computer but he should go watch a movie with his two younger brothers. He did. Haven't had another major blow up. He is in bed, hopefully asleep. When I tucked him in I told him "Tomorrow is a new day". Whew, this one was rough. [/QUOTE]
