[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 612787, member: 15910"] Greetings Jen, Will your insurance cover a visit to a neuropsychologist? I hear some Asperger-like traits in your post in addition to the lack of impulse control. Not saying the ADHD diagnosis is incorrect, but it may well be your little one has other issues going on. A lot of us here recommend a thorough evaluation by a neuropsychologist to ferret out things that might have been missed. And from there what might help. A sensory evaluation by an Occupational Therapist (OT) is a smart suggestion too. Also, some here may disagree with me, but since he is becoming such a danger to himself, have you thought about a quick trial of ADHD medications? The stimulants in particular tend to be the first line tried because they have been tested in kids, are quick-in and quick-out, and do work much of the time. You would know in fairly short order (within days) if there is improvement or not. MWM...we posted at the same time! I like yours better.... [/QUOTE]
