[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 310258, member: 3419"] Welcome! I hate to stick my neck out here, but are you SURE BiPolar (BP) is the most accurate diagnosis? Because he does things over and over and doesn't seem to learn ... that sounds more Aspie to me. And you do have another Aspie child. I realize there is a huge impulse factor in BiPolar (BP), which may have caused your son to yell at the bus driver, but on the other hand, do you know what preceded his yelling? Say, some sort of change or even comment that hinted of change or something difficult child disagreed with? I agree with-the others, that stimulants can make BiPolar (BP) worse. Have you noticed that his behavior has improved or gotten worse with-the Concerta? I'm scratching my head over this one. I also do NOT like your therapists' undermining your decisions. Our therapist suggests things more subtley (sp), such as, "Would Mom and Dad go along with-one day of being grounded?" immediately allows us to say, "NO, because this is a huge issue." He will immediately pick up on it, then jump in and add, "I spent one summer on the farm, completely grounded to my room. So you (difficult child) are darn lucky." See what I mean? Keep looking for a good therapist. Go alone and scope them out. [/QUOTE]
