[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 520894"] Glad you found our little corner of the world but very sorry you had to. I agree with Buddy about possible Ractive Attachment Disorder. ADHD does not involve the level of aggressiveness you are describing. A possibility is that the medications could be causing the aggressiveness. That has happened on two different medications for us so far. It might also be that they aren't even ADHD at all but maybe something else and then ADHD medications won't help and can even make things worse. You really need a thorough evaluation. If not a neuropsychologist, a reputable child psychiatrist would do for now. If things get to where you just can't handle it anymore or if the aggressiveness gets worse, call 911. Do they have IEP's at school? If not, you need to get that process started ASAP. Have you reached out to the mental health unit at your local Social Services agency? They usually have various services available that might help you. It's worth a shot. I am so sorry you're going through all this. There is a wealth of experience here and even more support. We will all help you as much as we can. Take what works and leave what doesn't. Also keep in mind that the unusual suggestions just might be the ones that work so be open-minded. (((HUGS))) to you all. [/QUOTE]
