[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246357, member: 1233"] I think that there may be some processing problems along with the impulse control. I would push for a referral to a neuropsychologist to have him thoroughly tested before trying any medications given by a pediatrician. At the very least, get a referral to a psychiatrist. Pediatricians just don't know enough about the brain to handle this sort of thing. A neuropsychologist will do extensive testing and then tell you what is going on. If you can't get into one, maybe seeing a developmental pediatrician would help. It sounds as if you have your hands full, but he also sounds like a very sweet kid. [/QUOTE]
