[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 217491, member: 1550"] Hi there, answeredprayer. I apologize, but I have to run out the door so if I repeat anything that anyone said, just skip it. I hadn't any time to read the responses. Your ex is certainly not helping, and I don't know what to tell you about that. However, in my opinion it's not just about your ex, although he is just making things worse. Has your son been raging since being on stimulants? If so, perhaps he doesn't have ADHD. ADHD is often the first, and often NOT the last diagnosis a child gets. I would be wanting him evaluated completely by a neuropsychologist before I medicated him so that I knew exactly what was wrong with him...and what the medications should be...rather than having the health professioinal just guess (and, really, that is what they do). I have a few questions: 1/Are there are psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of your son's family tree? 2/How was his early development: speech, eye contact, cuddling, ability to interact well and appropriately with his same age peers, ability to transition from one activity to another, any repetitive behaviors (such as lip smacking or hand flapping), an obsessive interests, does he talk like a "Little Professor?" 3/Is there a possibility of some sort of abuse going on at Dad's house? Physical? Sexual? Maybe from a frequent visitor, like an uncle? Is Dad a drinker? Is stepmom? Anything maybe like that going on? Wecome! [/QUOTE]
