[QUOTE="toffee, post: 162505, member: 5382"] Thanks for all the replies also. I'm from the UK and there's going to be no chance of counselling at all for any of us. We can't afford to go private and the health service provision is only there for people who have been diagnosed through the 'system'. Because we've had a private assessment they won't help us. I had a major fight with CAMHS last time I encountered them and they weren't sympathetic. Provision in the UK is extremely poor when it comes to childhood behavioural disorders. This is why we're struggling so much. There's nobody out there for us to talk to. Nobody realises the life that we're leading. ADHD kids and their parents are looked down on over here - we're seen as being incompetent and ineffective and basically just losers. People raise their eyebrows if you say you've got an ADHD kid as if to say "yeah, that's right, blame some made-up disorder for your bad parenting"!!!!!!! The paed said that there was no Aspergers, but he does have mild dypraxia which affects his ability to play football and ride his bike. Does the Explosive Child book have some strategies in to help? What do I do when he's tormenting his brother and I'm out of the room and can hear everything? [/QUOTE]
