[QUOTE="agee, post: 331278"] I do try to ignore it, unless he's calling names. Then he needs to go somewhere else - we have a "naughty step" - the bottom of our stairs - where I have him cool off. That generally works to stop the namecalling for a little while. The neuropsychologist is an ADHD + developmental diabilities + brain injury specialist and he is the clinic's founder. He is also the father of internationally adopted children. That doesn't guarantee he knows about adoption issues but it seems like he should at least know the basics. I didn't choose him. I just started calling around and I went with the first clinic that called me back and gave me an appointment. I figure this is a starting point, anyway. We've had some nice doctors up to this point, but they've just been guessing. I'm ready for some better answers. Hey - I looked at the link you sent me for Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), and I it fits and it doesn't. The behavioral stuff fits but not of the intellectual. When my son can't do schoolwork, for example, it's not because he is incapable or can't remember - it's more that he starts out with an attitude of NO. Combine that with no attention span and it's rare that he can finish one page of homework (I'm just coming off that homework page so it's on my mind). He needs my help to stay on task but me being there also means that it's an opportunity to engage me and try to push my buttons. He is always looking for a reaction. We really just need to figure out how to help him. What can be helped? What must just be endured? A [/QUOTE]
