[QUOTE="adhd.odd.parent, post: 507235, member: 13890"] I don't mind the questions, he got the diagnosis from a psychiatrist a few years ago, and when they admitted him a few months ago, he did group therapy, was evaluated by his psychiatrist that he sees now. He has had hearing tests and they all came back normal. He understands the instructions, he just refuses to do what he is asked to do, like the other night, i got out of the car to talk to a friend, and his brother was asleep, and I told him not to wake him up because he hadn't had a nap all day. He said yes ma'am, and as soon as I closed the door, he kicked the back of his brothers seat until he woke up. He seems to do things intentionally that he is told not to do. I'm not sure what Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is, or what kinds of evaluations they did at the hospital, they just said they ruled out bipolar disorder. I am going to talk to his therapist Tuesday and see about getting him evaluated again because there has to be something else going on with him. He was taught "coping skills" in therapy, and he can recite them, he just doesn't use them when he needs to, just like he can recite the rules at school and at home, he just doesn't follow them.
