[QUOTE="AlwaysSomething, post: 444817, member: 12369"] He's usually bad in leading up to and following any major events. He was in half day Kinder and would usually start falling apart at about 4:00. I had to quit my part-time job recently because he was adjusting so poorly (this was 4 months after starting!). An example of never knowing what reactions will be: One night after his bath, we were getting ready for bed. He (seriously out of the blue) starts sobbing, saying he wished he were dead and buried, where no one would ever be able to find him. As a depressive, this scared the daylights out of me (he was only 5!). I asked what was going on, and he finally managed to ask me what cancer was, and if he were going to die of it. The catalyst? They were having a Terry Fox run at school. He'd had sleep issues, but he has a set schedule that we don't deviate from. He used to have night terrors frequently, but appears to have outgrown them. He gets about 10 hours a night. I've got the Explosive Child, and read a great many others. We've got suggestions both from our psychiatrist and my mom, but nothing seems to work for long. Consistency is my middle name, and yet there's still issues. I'm right near Vancouver, so we've got a lot of resources nearby. However, my issue is that ABC diagnosis deal. Can't get him in to this if he doesn't have that, etc. The psychiatrist doesn't want to "label" him, other than depression and some sensory stuff we've gotten effective plans in place for. But in reading the Chandler papers (I'd also read the book for this), the ODD&depression child description fits him perfectly. [/QUOTE]
