[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 658676, member: 13260"] It's so hard to pin down stuff with kids this age. My grandson, if you were to "diagnose," was first ADHD at 4. Then is seemed like more than that (oh, the laundry list here: Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Serious Emotional Disturbance (for IEP qualification), Oppositional Defiance Disorder) and on and on. So, we've tried a myriad of medications with interesting and variable results. Bad for a week or two, then great, then bad again. Right now, he's not on anything, we changed his environment (well, it changed for him through his psychiatrist and CPS), and while he's still not what I'd call neurotypical, he's better. Now we're wondering if he ever truly had ADHD, or it's so wrapped up in other things (rampant anxiety) that we have no idea what we're really dealing with. It's like a moving target. So,we read the books, take him to every doctor appointment and anxiety group, social group, etc., that his insurance will let us have. We are learning how to change our behavior in the hopes that he will learn how to become less rigid, less anxious, less angry, and so on. It's a journey with twists and turns and you never see 'em coming. Learn about and access every resource you can. [/QUOTE]
