[QUOTE="nvts, post: 251001, member: 3814"] Hi! Welcome to the crowd! Personally, I think you're dealing with a little more than ADD. Quite a lot of the time, ADD is a symptom of something else rather than the actual "diagnosis". I'm not a Dr. or anything, so it's just an observation. First: you're in with a group now that TOTALLY gets what you're saying! Second: your feelings about "running away from home" are perfectly normal. Those of us raising kids like ours are under the gun 24/7. I personally am in "give up" mode myself and want to run screaming into the night (my 10 year old is a pain in the butt ALWAYS!). I would suggest a neuropsychologist evaluation. It's a boat load of tests done over a period of time that a neuropsychologist performs and gives you a lot more insight as to what's going on with him. Also, try reading "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It may give you some strategies to work with him - he's going to be too big to wrestle with when you send him to his room! I'm headed to bed, but wanted to say "hi!" and "Welcome"! You've met a great group - visit often! Beth [/QUOTE]
