[QUOTE="navyjen, post: 391731"] Hi I am new here. My DS is 12. And I feel like the last few months have been a roller coaster ride with him. I must start off by saying ds is fine at school and does well at his father's house(not much expected of him there) but at home I feel like it never stops. Today when he called me to tell me he was home from school I didnt want to answer the phone. DS was diagnosed with ADHD at 5. As a child was kicked out of several daycares for biting and behavior inability to communicate. Got an IEP in kindergarten and has done well in school ever since.
