[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 145090, member: 3930"] Hi again and thanks for the responses. Clinical psychiatric diagnosis'd him using questionnaires - don't remember the names but could find them. dcwsaranac, I think you helped me figure out how to explain it. I believe the ADHD symptoms have decreased at school since the medications and the ODD ones have increased at home. Or - he does't really have ADHD and the behavior modifications in place at school are helping during the day - and we continue to not have a grasp on anything at home. His pediatrician is the one prescribing the medications. We are now longer going to the psychologist who diagnosis'd him. He was no help to us in giving us tools on how to deal with difficult child. It's like he diagnosis'd him, told us to watch 123 Magic, and that was it. I am having a hard time finding someone else to work with our family. I would absolutely love it if someone could come into our home and see us interact and COACH us. I am back to thinking I am the cause of all his behavior problems. How do you go from a completely disorganized chaotic home environment with no real rules or expecatations - to where we need to be? It's not normal for a 5 y.o. to say/think the things he does. To me, that indicates a mood disorder. The medications scare me. I was hoping the get lucky with the first medication at lowest dose. Argggh. [/QUOTE]
