[QUOTE="jal, post: 156305, member: 3477"] You are basically describing my difficult child. He lashes out and has hit teachers, other kids ever since he was around 3yrs of age. If your child is in school does he have an IEP and a behavioral plan? My difficult child has responded very well to a behavioral plan and has just recently had a functional behavioral assessment and both his school (he is in kindergarten) and his daycare are on board. The new plan has started recently and he has been very responsive to it. My son also cannot stay in a room for a moment (at home) if no one else is in there with him. When we were first starting out difficult child was placed on Risperdal also. It did not help him and he began to display side effects (to put it somewhat delicately "man boobs"). Once we took him off that cleared up. Risperdal is known for weight gain too. I can't tell you the amount of time I missed from my last job having to pick up difficult child or take half days because he was out of daycare for a week or so because of his behavior. Not to scare you, but I basically lost my job of 9.5 yrs due to him. I would push your school for an evaluation. Having support and plans in place has made a lot of difference for our difficult child. Since this has been done I have not had one phone call from school to pick him up, nor one call from the new daycare he started when he started kindergarten last fall (he had been through 4 others). He has gone all year and has yet to miss one day of school. He still has problems, but they are aware and equipped to handle him. He is mainstream with-no learning disabilities, he just has outlets to let off steam (movement breaks, behavioral chart, social story times, etc.). Best of luck to you and know you are in good company. [/QUOTE]
