[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 570978, member: 11339"] i havent' read the other responses so i may be repeating them but i supposes that is ok.... your son needs to be evaluated properly by medical professionals. he probably needs to be medicated. he definitely needs therapy, not the sit down and talking kind but they will teach him to better focus his aggression. my step-son has a lot of issues still other than aggression but his aggression has gone down a lot since having him medicated properly. he doesn't sound adhd to me. he may also be effected because of being bounced around and family changes with dad leaving and being shuffled back and forth between you and your mom. for a special needs kid that can be more traumatic than it would for the average kid. i would get him on the wait lists as fast as possible because with a diagnosis of some type will come medication and services, and they take time to get set up. for now you should start keeping records of daily issues to help show patterns of behaviour to the person who evaluates him. this was helpful to us when we originally brought difficult child to the doctor because it showed that the aggression was not just sometimes and that it wasn't predictable. for some kids a bit of medications and therapy are all they need to get to a place where they can live normal and healthy lives. sometimes it is not so easy, but that is the first thing to try. you will need to find a proper child psychiatrist who deals with this type of thing regularely because psychologists and pediatritions often misdiagnose or don't understand the full nature of the issue.
