Thanks to all who replied,
Kat, He is hard. He seems to have "a little of alot" going on. I don't see much of the Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) except some facial features, he never had the growth delays and he has a high IQ, but I could add sensory issues and anxiety. Bipolar fits what I see the most and he isn't even as bad with that as I hear some of the stories others have gone through. He is a puzzle.
Marguerite, Thanks for the support, I suppose I do feel guilty despite what I said. He is off stims forever, YES, YES, YES. He typically isn't a violent kid, he throws, breaks things, flails about during a hissy-fit...nothing directed at people. He does try to divide his sibs, he can only play successfully with 1 sib at a time usually. With just 1 sib he can talk them into doing what he wants, when they are in a group, they support each other and don't comply. Competetion is a huge problem so much so that almost everything is assigned to prevent fighting.
Ants mom, Yes the omega3/omega6 fish oil. You can get it anywhere from food stores to Walmarts but for mood control you want to get the kind that is higher in the EPA part and lower in the DHA part. I've had luck with about a 2:1 ratio but THE BIPOLAR CHILD reccomends a much higher ratio.
Terry, He did feel something, he was upset about the violence...until he had to suffer the consequences, then he couldn't see past his feelings. At least it did shock mhim, I agree that is a good sign.
