[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 334885, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. Sorry you had to be here. I would strongly recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation for both boys. I am a layperson, but I believe your son, maybe both, have a lot more going on than ADHD. I feel the oldest is way too symptomatic to be dealing with something just that simple. That the medications don't help just makes me doubt it even more. Perhaps he has high functioning autism/Aspergers (very hard for a regular professional to see) or a mood disorder or both. I would want to revisit a professional, and many of us feel Neuropsychs are the best diagnosticians. What type of doctor diagnosed your boys? Even psychiatrists often miss Aspergers, which can cause intense frustration and much raging unless there are the proper interventions. How do your boys socialize with their same age peers? Is bipolar or a mood disorder of any kind on either side of their family tree? That rage in my opinion is not caused by ADHD. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
