[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 275350, member: 255"] Well, first off, welcome to the board. You have found a great place here with lots of great information and people who are genuine about helping you make it through these hard times. He is going to have to be tested as others have said, so that the process can begin in diagnosing him. I will tell you that it was very hard for me to convince my husband in the beginning to have our son tested. He didn't believe in "mental" issues. I did alot of research, kept a diary of events and also did alot of crying along the way and finally he agreed to have him tested. It was a long road for us, each step of the way (even after the testing, the medications and the counseling) I had to convince husband to continue with the process. I mean, its either that or for my sanity I would have had to remove myself from the house and let him deal with raising him. I was that far at the end of my rope. I hope you can convince him to start this process. I don't want to bring you down, but it will only get worse if its ignored or you don't seek professional help. We can't punish our kids with special needs like other kids can be punished. It just doesn't work, it doesn't get through to them and alot of times it will make their behavior 1,000 times worse.
