[QUOTE="klmno, post: 214297, member: 3699"] Wow, can you back way up and fill us in? Many people come here saying very similar things and a lot of times, it has not been an accurate diagnosis by an expert in child psychology or psychiatry. So, who has been giving these diagnosis to your son? Have you ever had neuropsychological testing done on him? Has he ever been evaluated by a child & adolscent certified psychiatrist? That would be the first steps I'd recommend. Sometimes, behavioral specialist get frustrated when the behavior teqhniques don't "cure" the child, so they say the child has conduct disorder and/or it's the parents' faulty parenting skills causing the problem. I'd recommend not buying into that. The bad behavior usually is a symptom of the child having other problems that have not been pin-pointed, much less treated appropriately. I think your son is way too young to have that diagnosis, especially when it doesn't appear that no expert has ever seriously considered a "bigger" underlying issue. It might help you to look over the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It would help us to know a little more about your son's history in school, with any medications tried, what signs of "different" did you first notice and when, etc. Oh- and Welcome! You have found a great place here. We can't diagnose but we can share experiences and offer support and perhaps point you in a better direction sometimes! [/QUOTE]
