[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 255207, member: 1550"] I straight out would find another psychiatrist (with the MD) and a neuropsychologist. I would NOT accept that nor give up that fast. Not all kids that seem to have antisocial tendencies turn out that way nor do they all get diagnosed correctly. My daughter, at her worst, had every symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), yet she is nothing like that now, at 24. I just don't buy it. It's up to you, of course, but I'd head for the hills and look for somebody willing to work with him and possibly look at other problems that could be causing his behavior. Once you accept that he is going to be the jail's problem, then you are giving up and it is a self-fulfilling prophecy as many mentally ill kids end up in jail. For me, that just wouldn't cut it and I'd be moving on. I'd go to the psychiatrist with the best repututaion around and also do the neuropsychologist evaluation. But no way would I sit on my hands, snivel about it, or accept it. THat's just not how I handle things. If I had, where would my daughter be now?? Sure, there are kids who are given a CD diagnosis. who live up to it, but there are plenty who are given that diagnosis. who don't deserve it. in my opinion he is way too young not to go in other directions just because some kids lived up to the diagnosis.
