[QUOTE="Malika, post: 684259, member: 11227"] Hello HMBgal. I suddenly thought of this website tonight, after a long absence, and thought I'd take a look. I am sorry to hear that your grandson is not doing so well. I have never heard of DMDD - can you explain what it is, or is said to be? How did the field trip go? The video games/internet sounds like a minefield. That is one thing I have managed to keep my son away from - he very rarely uses the computer. He does watch these violent films full of fighting though - and then acts it all out afterwards. If I had my way he wouldn't watch them (Wolverine, X men, Avengers and the like) but that was a battle I lost long ago. These children are so open to influence. Has anybody talked about Strattera for your grandson? This is often prescribed for ADHD along with anxiety. My son has been taking it on and off for the past two years or so - he is anxious but takes it basically because it is the only ADHD medication that seems to have any beneficial effect. Its effect is subtle but definitely seems to make him less confrontational and unpleasant. Your grandson's lack of friends is worrying and sad. What can be done about this? Does he play a sport or have an activity like skateboarding or BMXing that can be encouraged? I am not sure how effective school is as a place to socialise - in some ways I think outside interests are a better place to make friends. [/QUOTE]
