[QUOTE="mrsalmeida, post: 677971, member: 20004"] Thanks for the replies. The diagnosis was from a child psychologist at Kaiser, who we have our insurance through. We started the testing when he was in 1st grade, because not only was he having problems at home, but at school as well. School problems such as getting very angry in class when he couldn't do the work, always having social issues, not able to get along with anyone, fighting during recess, storming out of the classroom, ripping up classwork. He has a huge struggle with reading and spelling. It used to be writing as well, but that has improved immensely.Problems at home such as when myself or his dad ask him to do something he would flip out, slamming doors, screaming at the top of his lungs, cursing, getting him to eat is a nightmare and what starts most of the fights. When he was younger, it was always reading and writing that were the issues at school and the major source of frustration and now that he's older, its the social aspect. After he got in the fistfight last week at school, he said he hated school and hated everyone at school. He doesn't really have any close friends that he plays with after school or on the weekends, and he prefers to be playing video games or be on the iPad. I don't want to bad mouth Kaiser, as they are great with certain aspects of care, but this whole diagnosis and medication prescription has been a complete and utter exhaustion. I am very interested in getting the comprehensive evaluation, I just know kaiser will give me push back. I will just have to get pushy with them. Also, he says a lot of "I hate my life", sometimes he says " I want to die", and that is the worst thing to hear. [/QUOTE]
