[QUOTE="klnsc, post: 367380"] Thanks for your replies. JJJ-- I was considering having some psychological testing done but the p-doctor said we already know what he has and that the testing/results would not change the treatment. I had an appointment last week to meet with- the psychologist alone but cancelled after speaking to the p-doctor. Is a therapist the therapist? I feel like the therapist is good and is aware of my son's manipulative behavior, but it's the psychiatrist who says during most visits that the medications are not changing his behaior, that he's going to end up in jail, has all the characteristics of the kids he sees in the detention centers and has told me to call the police several times. I have thought about changing since I feel like he's given up hope (and we only started seeing him in January). The therapist thinks he's a good kid but that we have to catch this before he gets any older and is giving me tips on how to be more consistent. His test scores are in the 98th percentile nationally and has always gotten high 90's until this year (5th grade) where his grades have dropped to low 80's/high 70's. There has never been a need to get the school involved, so there is no IEP. The Occupational Therapist (OT) said he has Sensory Processing D/O and we went to Occupational Therapist (OT) 2x/week for 6 months. They said he could be acting out be/c he was so frustrated with- the processing issues, but that did not work. His Occupational Therapist (OT) was a nice young guy and I kept him there just to have that positive connection but we've since stopped. We have mood disorders in the family as well as substance abuse issues (although the person has been in recovery for 30 years). We are pretty wacky and for years I've been going to counseling and other programs to help with- my issues and have tried to change my behavior. We have never had any criminal behaviors or domestic violence in the family (or even active alcoholism). I believe his dad has Narcissistic Personality D/O and can not really relate to or connect with- people. He's not a bad person but extremely self absorbed. My son has a lot of his traits (not that I'm perfect by any means) and knows what, how and when to say the right thing to get what he wants. I'm going to continue to give Lamical a chance and start searching for a new psychiatrist who has a more positive attitude towards my son. [/QUOTE]
