Hello everyone! I guess it's time for me to join in. I've been returning here constantly as I scrounge for information on how to help my son(s) and our family. I have an awesome son that's 8, 3rd grade, gifted, diagnosed with- severe adhd 2 yrs ago and more recently behavoir disorder not otherwise specified, sleep disorder not otherwise specified also. We are in the process of diagnosis. He's on concerta 54mg. (he's only 50 lbs) and clonidine at night. He's got major impulsivity issues still. He's getting into alot of trouble and has a hard time socially. Starting on abilify 2mg on saturday.....add to the mix My other son is 5 and going to kindergarden next fall. he's def not adhd thank god! he's a social superstar but has a very firey temper and is extremly hard on himself. he too makes me worry. there is tons of interesting info here and am excited to be apart of it!
