[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 267908, member: 1550"] I would have red flag issues about fiance if he's going to tell you not to medicate your own son. in my opinion he shouldn't be taking that sort of stance--it's not even his kid and could mean trouble ahead. Aside from that, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. He needs a total evaluation for all disorders and NeuroPsychs are best at that. He does have red flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in spite of talking and looking people in the eye--that's not everything. He could also have an impending mental illness that needs treatment different than ADHD. You just don't know what you are dealing with and I agree that it won't go away. If your boyfriend just thinks he "needs strict discipline" (and it's just a guess on my part) I'd again rethink my relationship with him. This child is wired differently and will need to be treated differently. And it could be expensive and time consuming but it is in no way your fault (in case anyone is telling you that it is). Yes, your ex HAS to cover him. Make sure he does. Welcome to the board :happy:. Nice folks hang here. [/QUOTE]
