[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 751197, member: 23359"] Certain conditions are linked to certain genetic abnormalities. It never hurts to rule it out, especially if it’s free. My son has a duplication. I have recently found a few studies that has it linked it autism and ADHD. I emailed his neuropsychologist about it- trying to convince someone to give him the diagnosis of autism. It would make our lives much easier (access to funding and services he’s currently being denied). As far as an mri, who knows if it will help. It’s just something we have had done to help rule out any health issues my son might have. They checked to see if his brain looked the way it should look. Some conditions can be geared towards certain visible things that are “wrong” with the brain. My eldest had a severe reaction from red dye when he was little- we cut it out and things got better (he has ADHD). Sometimes the answer is so simple and other times, not so much. He also had consistent ear infections when he was a toddler. When he was sick, it caused some pretty crazy behaviours. We took him to the chiropractor and it helped, cutting out milk products helped as well. Diet might be something worth looking into. I doubt it will be a cure all, but it might help. An allergy to milk for example, can cause ADHD/ADD like behaviours. I don’t know, none of this might help you, you may have already tried it all. Just things we tried, some helped but most didn’t. I don’t know about you, but I feel like we’re constantly travelling down 20 paths at the same time trying to find answers, hoping at least one can help us. His behaviours towards you and his sibling is serious though. You’re going to have to advocate for yourself, for her and especially him. Don’t let the “professionals” tell you there’s nothing wrong. This behaviour is not typical (normal) and it’s not ok. You do not deserve this! Nobody deserves to feel unsafe in their own home. I’m not sure if I missed this in the post but are there agencies nearby that provide mental health services in the home? Children in Canada don’t typically go to the hospitals for mental health services. We have agencies in our communities, usually social workers or child and youth counsellors (or cyw). It might be beneficial, even for your daughter, if they can’t service him. Maybe they can help develop a behavioural plan to help you manage. Our community doesn’t know what to do with B, we’ve been 1.5 hours each way from our community to find help, and they don’t know what to do either. It can be a long journey. We did see a good amount of success using a behavioural mod called “conscious discipline” with B. It’s more about changing your wording when you talk. He responded better to CD than any other type of behavioural mod we tried. But what works for one, doesn’t work for all. [/QUOTE]
