[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 713816, member: 13260"] Fellow grandma raising a difficult grandchild, now almost 11. I can say that when DGC was your grandson's age, things were far worse than they are now. Not to say we are out of the woods; far from it. But, with lots of support, medications (still on the fence as to the efficacy of these--it's all trial and error), things are better. Maturation helps a ton. But, you need to start seeking out people that can give you a diagnosis (or diagnoses, often more than one thing going on, e.g., DGC has ADHD, Anxiety Disorder, and it looks like emerging bi-polar). We got help with an IEP at school, Explosive Child book (Ross Greene), and on this board. In your case, there may be some brain difference due to chemical exposure, but the brain is amazing and with love and help, things will get better. [/QUOTE]
