[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 309937, member: 1550"] I would take him to a clinic for kids who were exposed to alcohol/drugs in utero. They have a great one in Chicago. They likely have one in every large city. I would go, even if it requires driving far and a hotel stay overnight. A child doesn't have to look Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) to have the syndrome. Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/fetal alcohol effects is as devestating as the syndrome, and very similar, but the kids don't look any different from others. It takes some testing. Since he responds to strange medication for a mentally ill child, I would see if effects from alcohol/drugs is also in play. Maybe that's why he doesn't respond to a mood stabilizer. At any rate, I'd seek out a second opinion from a doctor (not a therapist only or even a psychologist) who is very schooled in alcohol/drug affected children to see what the consensus is. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. I know it's hard. [/QUOTE]
