[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 28430, member: 1550"] Don't remember if I asked before. Hate to be repetitious. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? With his symptoms, I'd want him to be tested for high funcioning autism, maybe Aspergers. It's hard to catch in younger kids, but can cause real disruption in the child's life and yours, and ADHD stims won't fix it. Psycologists and pediatricians tend to miss it. Sensory stuff is a real problem with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Not saying he has it, but I do think a neuropsychologist exam would be a good way to spot his problems. They do a really intensive evaluation. All of his symptoms combined--Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety/ADHD/ODD-like behavior really sound like it could very well be Aspergers or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. I wouldn't leave any stone unturned. I'd also want a Child Psychiatrist to see if he thinks he has Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). IF so, Concerta and Zoloft would likely make him worse. I"m not a doctor either, and shouldn't be one, but it doesn't sound like the medications are doing much good, so I'm guessing from experience that they are probably not the right medications.
