[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 216514, member: 1550"] I recommend reading "The Bipolar Child" by Dimitri and Janice Papalos. While nobody knows what is wrong with him (that probably includes the doctors--he's too young to definitively know) stimulants make any sort of mood disorder worse. I would want a fresh point of view. A neuropsychologist is a good place to start because a Dev. Pediatrician can see if he has forms of autism, but won't know anything about early onset bipolar. It's not his field. ADHD/ODD is often the first diagnosis, but it also is often really something else. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
