[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 411263, member: 6705"] I have a husband who I'm darned SURE has ADHD, and a daughter who probably has a mild version, and a son who has been labeled ADHD - but I don't think that's the whole story! Jett's bio-mom medicated the snot out of him. Giving this child stimulants did, indeed, make him worse. He went from mildly annoying to SEVERE.BRAT. while on them. Not to mention side effects. Weaned him off, and have been working with him. neuropsychologist says Fetal Alcohol Syndrome... I'm not so sure. I'm not a doctor, but I'm thinking PTSD + possibly Aspergers. NOW, that said - Onyxx. Ohhhh, my lovely daughter. She will be oh-so-cooperative and then... Out of nowhere... Whining, fit throwing, violent, screaming, picking fights... And hers is very much PTSD and a mood disorder... So my thoughts here - PLEASE take him to a neuropsychologist. It's not a perfect science (we're dealing with the brain, here, and it does things [I]no other body part could possibly do[/I]), but it's a starting point. And while one medication may not work, another might. We've been through tons of different combinations... And are still trying to figure it out. And I know many others here have been on MANY more medications than my two have. Hugs - and welcome. No matter what, it ain't easy! [/QUOTE]
