[QUOTE="earthprowler, post: 260414, member: 5019"] when my difficult child started getting in trouble at school in the first grade they suggested i take him to counseling, that didn't work and his regular doctor suggested a psychiatrist. some how i made the mistake (at the time i thought, but it wasn't) i took him to our local neurology center. best first step i could have made. commorbidy, meaning multiple things going on. they tested him, i had to take a two hour test to give them some insight on what he was like at certain times. it's perfect, you can then take your report to the psychiatrist of your choice or you can continue with the neurologist. the results give you something to show psychiatrists or whomever you may take your difficult child too so they don't have to try and figure it out on their own, it's already done. when my difficult child was 2 wks old his dad and i watched him get so angry about being put on his stomach that it literally took him 20 minutes to turn him self over to his back. we would keep him in his car seat in the house (or jumper, switch back and forth ya know?) he could wiggle out of that at two months, we'd have to strap him in because he was starting to figure out how to move around already. i never noticed too much of the anger before two, around that time it started showing it's ugly roaring face. he would bite, throw things, little things at the time. hes destructive, you take your eyes off of him for a minute and he can take down a room, he would throw the kitchen chairs at his sister by age 5, chase her with butcher knives, threaten to throw him self out the car door as we were moving down the street, have melt downs that lasted from an hour to two days leaving us all exhausted. we're still exhasted. you never know what temperment you're gonna get with difficult child. one day he's easy going and willing to do what ever you want and would give away the shirt off his back, the next look out because what ever you own is going to be destroyed, he'll say evil things and go after whom ever he considers the weakest link, human or animal. if he even thinks his older sister said something about him he would cuss her out like a sailor in his prime. and once he knows he's got your button pushed, he'll go for hours until you think you're the one with something wrong with you. he's been expelled/transfered from school so he can be in a smaller class with one on one with the teacher because he can't handle being in a regular class with all the noise and distractions, he gets annoyed so easily and it sets him off. he refused to to work, would sit and stare at the teacher when she told him to do work, he would pick on the other kids in class, call names, cuss at them, steal their work and put his name on it. big trouble last fall, he exposed him self, then said something vulgar to three girls that got him transferred. it goes on and on and i cringe during the school year when my phone rings at work.
