[QUOTE="SRL, post: 43848, member: 701"] Hi EB67, I'm glad you found us! We were are all desperate parents when we arrived here and we're well acquainted with Angry Mom, Shouting Mom and Mom Who Says Things That Should Not Be Said from our own lives. I think you'll find some good help and encouragement among us. My first thought when I was reading through your post was to suggest looking into Asperger's Syndrome. It's frequently missed by doctors and parents at younger ages, especially so if it's borderline or atypical. I have a child who leans in the direction of AS and I could have been writing your post (sans the ADHD) when he was 5. By learning what was going on in his mind through all those explosions we've been able to help him make tremendous progress. As smallword mentioned we don't diagnose here but we can give you some direction on where to start and this site has some basic information. If it rings a bell we can provide you with more direction. [url]http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/[/url] What types of specialists gave his diagnosis's? Has he been seen by a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist? As a whole, we've found those two speciality areas to be most reliable in pediatric diagnoses. The Explosive Child changed our lives, literally. [/QUOTE]
