[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 585812, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board (but sorry you have to be here). If you are going to a neuropsychologist you are doing the best you can do. Remember he's not a "bad" boy when he acts up at home. He is differently wired and can't help it and needs probably a special type of parenting. Behavioral therapists don't tend to be very successful with our children because they don't respond the way other kids would to consistent discipline or consequences. It isn't likely a discipline problem. It is more likely an inborn difference neurologically...Aspergers? Since he is so smart, that will definitely help him, but he probably needs some interventions that can be given at school. It's not your parenting either. Remember, this child was different even in the womb. By the way, I'm another Paxil responder...was a miracle medication for me. Also really struggled with depression. Also, medications probably won't be enough for him since he is just a child. medications alone weren't even enough for me...I still needed extra help. Believe it or not, most kids don't have horrific temper tantrums. The only one I had who did was my son on the autism spectrum and that's because he was so sensitive to stimuli and easily got overtired or overloaded. He had terrible sensory issues too. Keep posting. We care and would like to be able to support you. [/QUOTE]
