[QUOTE="ducky8888, post: 603370, member: 15714"] Jules, he is on Vyvanse, Guanfacine, and one other, I think focalin. Therapy has been a huge issue, he sees a psychologist once a month for 15 minutes. He is in an IEP where he receives a once a week visit with a therapist. I have actually been impressed, for the most part, with the local IEP program. With the exception of one incident where difficult child "bought" a Thrasher magazine (totally inappropriate material) from the student store, they have been very good. We also have a WRAP around program, which is on hold for the summer. He has been in behavioral therapy in the past (to try and make him more aware of spacial issues). His only evaluation has been a 1 hour session with a psychologist (a couple years ago), they spent 45 minutes with him, tried a couple tests where he could not finish and got angry, talked to him for a few minutes where he opened up about anger and his family life, then spent the remainder of the time talking with my girlfriend. there was a 20 page evaluation completed, most of which repeated the same information 3 or 4 times. After posting a few times on here and asking for advice, about 6 months ago, I have come to the conclusion that he needs a more extensive evaluation with a neuropsychologist, and I believe he is on the spectrum. I dont know how, or if, this diagnosis would change anything. I am working on locking everything up. I spent the weekend building cabinets and drawers in the garage that I can lock things in. The issue here is that, in the past, if he wants something in a locked area, he breaks in. I am ordering the keys for my roll-away tool chest (broke them years ago and never needed to lock it...) So my smaller tools will be locked in the toolbox, and toys/bigger tools get locked in the cabinets and drawers. We will see how long until he tries breaking the locks off, but I am hoping that if all the tools are locked away, he wont have anything to break the locks with. n the past he has had his own tools, given to him by his grandfather (bad idea). We have decided that these too will be locked up, as he has shown he cant be responsible with them and will need to ask permission to use them, when he can be supervised. [/QUOTE]
