[QUOTE="Jojara, post: 220946, member: 6475"] Sorry for the upcoming novel. Holy cow. This is amazing, thank you all so much for the wonderful feedback. I have actually never heard of a neuropsychologist exam. I think he may have had one done years ago, but the only thing that was recommended to his father and I was to take him to a psychologist. I am definitely going to look for a new psychiatrist. The last time we had an appointment I asked for some specific techniques to help me bring his rages down before I couldnt physically restrain him anymore. She could not come up with anything. To answer your questions: He tells me that he can tell physically when a rage is going to happen, but it happens so fast that he doesnt even think of all the interventions we have come up with. He said his stomach gets tight and then it feels like its hard to breath....and BAM....rage is on. See....this sounds like an anxiety attack to me. Im not sure. Yes. He goes to a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for counseling. When we are at the appointments, he is so rational. He says yes I will try, yes I will take time out etc etc. He knows he is doing these things and he shouldnt....but it doesnt make a difference when its actually happening. My side of the family has quite a lot of substance abuse. Not his father or I directly, but genetically its probably there. He hasnt been exposed to this kind of lifestyle. My bio-father died of a drug overdose. He actually developed early. He was so happy, crawled at 6 mos, walked before he hit a year. He never had trouble with much of anything, except going to sleep. He never really learned how to lay down and go to sleep. Huge fights at bedtime from the time he was soooo small. He loves to be with groups of friends, and its almost like he is a different kid around them. His teachers say that the kids love to be friends with him, but he is distracting sometimes (his ADHD I think?). He likes to be the center of attention. He does NOT transition well at all!!!! To anything! In fact, if something comes up that he is not expecting, changing the routine (even if its something fun or exciting)...that will throw him into a tailspin. Also, his grades in school are awful. He has a hard time finishing assignments, so he will shove him in his desk and argue with his teacher that he really did turn them in. He lies terribly about schoolwork. He has a heck of a time writing, and that alone will make him just shut down sometimes.
