[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 532894"] Well rhonda, you've come to the right place. There are going to be a lot of questions to begin with so bear with us. The reason is so that we have a clearer understanding of the whole picture so we don't send you down the wrong road. Just keep in mind that there are many different points of view here that you could end up with a lot of different perspectives. Take what fits and leave the rest but don't be too closed-minded. You might be surprised at what really does work. Who diagnosed your son? What was their area of expertise? Who is managing the medications? When was the last time there was a medication adjustment? Why did you move to a different area that you're willing to give it up to move back to where your son is comfortable? Would it really be that easy? Does he have an IEP or 504 at school? Does he get any help at all there? Are there any other mental health issues on either side of his family tree besides what you have in your signature? Including extended family and things things that have been diagnosis'd as well as things that are suspected. You do realize that forgetting to do things is very common for kids with ADD/ADHD. That's why I'm wondering about an IEP. What is going on could be increasing depression over the move and leaving everything familiar. It could also be that the medications aren't right. It could also me that the diagnosis's aren't completely correct. Can you give us a little more information about him? I highly recommend you read the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It doesn't sound like your son is explosive but the ideas in the book work VERY well. The processes described int the book saved my family. It is definitely worth a try. You might actually learn something new about your son. Welcome to our little corner of the world. This is the BEST place for the most awesome support from parents who have been on the front lines and/or still are fighting the fight. [/QUOTE]
