[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 246180, member: 3444"] Welcome, Yael. My difficult child 2 was like yours. Very easy going, pleasant natured baby. Physically active and hit milestones early. At 3.5yrs he started showing the hyperactivity his older brother (who has ADHD) did at the same age. Plus some sensory issues. We treated for ADHD from age 5 to 7, but then he became more aggressive and impulsive. That's when things started to really change. By age 10 things were very different and he was really looking more like a mood disordered kid -- response to medications changed as well. Now it's looking much less like ADHD and much more like mild bipolar (cyclothymic if I had to label it). He responds to medications more like someone with this diagnosis, too, which I believe tells you a lot about what's going on. [/QUOTE]
