[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 203475, member: 2270"] I am sorry you and husband are having such a hard time. I have been there done that(been there done that). Your difficult child sounds just like mine at that age. If you do a signature(like at the bottom of this post) it will help us know what medications, what diagnosis's etc. This helps when we reply so we can help the best we can. My difficult child would go into a 2 hr meltdown at the word no. The smallest thing made her worse. Any stimulant medication made her worse. diagnosis changed from ADHD/ODD, to ADHD/Mood Disorder, to now ADHD/Mood Disorder/Aspergers. With what you have described, I wonder if your difficult child has Aspergers. I'm not a doctor, but the obsession and water sensitivity are both signs of some form of Austim Spectrum disorder. Not knowing what medicine he is on, ask yourself if the medicine is working. Is he better? Is he worse or more violent on it? Different disorders and different kids need different medicine or combinations of medicines to help. Mine and ADHD medications were not a good combination, but the mood stabilizer has helped considerably. Remember to try and take time for yourself. You can't help difficult child if you are drained. Hugs of support sent your and husband's way. [/QUOTE]
