[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 213480, member: 6271"] HI I am new here to and I have a 16 year old adhd son and I think for your peace of mind you definitly go forward on all the paths that lead to Rome. My son did not like the first medications offered but did eventually decide to take them as he felt so isolated and out of sinc with others. Also we have changed psyciatrists and do not EVER let the fact that the folks treating your child are so busy and over worked to ask every question you have. Just do everything call everyone and get what is available to help your special needs child. Self medication is a classic symtom of an inappropriately treated mental condition. At this age impulse control is probably at its worst...not only is the sex drive and male aggression switched on high for the first time for real...but the brain is not well developed in this age in the best of behavoral shapes for reasoning well... IT IS A MENTAL HEALTH CRISSIS...the legal matters are a net for him on one hand, and juvinal system is less harsh for youth exactly because of this type of behavor from the best of future adults...and the services that he has had and his need for more are what tools are available to shape his future and he is not old enough to decide otherwise. Maybe go over the evaluation you have with the district psycologist and definitely get the paper work in order for the IEP services: ADHD with Fs it is correct to provide the full spectrum of his needs. also intensive home therapy for where ever he is living. Structor structor structor. Has he had MRI how well is his frontal lobe working? HE definitely needs the education piece and to get out of the dopers circle. The thing is his ADHD is interfering with basic parts of life: home,school, ability to learn,and now he is at risk:driving without a liscence, drugging... I think I would revisit the suicide call insident with a differant mind set...joke or was that ultimately a call for help? He needs help. Alot of it. IF you wait for him to decide that he wants help it will be after he has no options...and at 16 he has NO OPTIONS. Sieze the day, MOM. He is your gift from god and clearly you have some strength to show this world with that challenge. My ADHD is getting As...and if it is any comfort as all his friends started getting drivers lisences he started doing all sorts of things that we so not ok. And I had to call the police myself....and look up the kids I saw with him in the yearbook and start calling parents to figure our where and who was safe...they are out there...and the family that does smoke pot according to some of their freinds I did have the police go to their house and find out was my child there...yeah. let them think wether they want MY KID in their dopey circle. Anyway...we have intensive home therapy and the way I got it...because they said kids who do well in school and have trouble at home they do not worry about..so I called the superintendent and then the head of Special Education for the state..I called the district psycologists and I called ALL OF THEM...one after another with my MRS. Executive voice slow, clear, socially apppropriate...have to get there attention and have a list of the points that support your emergency and then the steps you have taken...(what failed) and what steps you want NOW and what do they think(:take notes) In fact if you have not already get a binder or a notebook and keep it close and put the date time who you call who calls you note from the calls. Use it to reflect who refered you to whom and when.. Lucky you loose weight...my cortisol is so high I am just an exspanding shell of protection onto myself. Drink plenty of water and you know...talk about how you DO NEED this child in protection so you sleep some. You are in my prayers...that boys future is important. TAke comfort as well that with this he has survived to teen years..if he was anything like my own son that right there is a mirical and a sign. Rest when you can. Big hug...hanky for the tears and just remember women are rocks..you know it....this is a huge challenge and one more proff possitive of who has the power worth the obligations of the perpetuation of life. Be strong...let us know how it works out to now..do not leave me hanging. I am in that boat too... [/QUOTE]
