[QUOTE="sunxstone, post: 352207, member: 8297"] Update - our caseworker drove us to and from a walk in appointment today.. it felt like a waste of time. The doctor talked to me alone for about five minutes and I mentioned the rages, threatening behavior, aggression, smearing and wetting behavior.. she kept cutting me off. Then she talked to difficult child for another five minutes, then called me back in. Said she couldn't see bipolar or ADHD, and that difficult child claimed he wasn't depressed.She wrote him an rx for Risperdal for the anger problems. She blamed step dad for everything (yes, he's a big part of the problem *now*, but wasn't when he was first diagnosed) Other than difficult child's relationship with step dad, I don't feel like she listened to me at all. Like she just shut everything out after that. Oh.. and she refused to look at any of his past evaluations. Definitely going to have him re evaluated by a professional once we're in California.. and the next time difficult child flies into a rage, I'm going to do as someone here suggested and leave it recorded for her on her voicemail. Someone also asked if he'd been seen by a neuro psychiatric - he has, when he was almost 7. She diagnosed PDDNOS/Aspergers.. and the more I think of it the more I think it all goes back to that. I think the bipolar they saw was casein allergy. He gets food from friends, etc.. Anyway.. got a prescription so that will help in the short term, I hope. I do think talking to her helped difficult child, too, if only for those few minutes. He's been calm all day.. but his sister isn't home yet. :/ difficult child was texting back and forth with my boyfriend while I was in with the doctor, and the caseworker asked difficult child how much he liked my boyfriend on a scale from 1 - 10, and difficult child said "8!" So that was awesome. :D lol [/QUOTE]
