[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 141109, member: 2423"] I'm sorry you had such a rough time with difficult child. Obviously, we're not doctors and can't diagnosis over the internet, but I'm wondering if there's more going on here than ADHD. When was the last time he was evaluated? What medications/doses is he taking? Is he seeing a therapist? If you haven't read [I]The Explosive Child [/I]by Ross Greene, you might want to pick up a copy. It will explain why chronically inflexible children behave the way they do and give you some techniques for managing this behavior. Although it's not an excuse, his behavior (and it will be worse at home where he feels safe) is a maladaptive way of coping and possibly even a cry for help. Again, I'm sorry for your difficult day.
