[QUOTE="Indianamomof4, post: 86556, member: 4062"] Here is an update... sans medicine, I haven't seen that aggressiveness yet. I don't know what to think. People have commented that he seems "different". He's complained of headaches every other day or so, but no complaints from school right now, but I am going to call this week to see what's up. I have been trying behavior management with him, and will admit that listening to that program The Total Transformation has helped a lot. The guy makes so much sense. Granted, he's still hyper. He still makes noise all the time and smells everything, but nothing too crazy. I got the report from the neropsych. It's nothing I really didn't know. He pretty much summed it up that he is clearly ADHD with ODD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) components. He also said he cannot rule out a mild form of Asperger's (though he has none of the social issues related to that disorder). He recommended behavior modification therapy. I'm going to seriously think about medicine--and talk to the teacher. If she doesn't seem to think the ADHD is out of control, and he's learning and not too disruptive, I may not do anything but seek a behavioral psychologist and have weekly sessions. [/QUOTE]
