[QUOTE="Michellenurse0, post: 48526, member: 3775"] Hi Pinkie and welcome. I too am new to this gfgdom but have found it to be a wealth of information plus I totally dont feel alone. My difficult child has ADHD with ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) anxiety/panic disorder and depression. He also displayed many of your sons traits at a younger age. One of the big things that you said that stuck out is the noise thing. My difficult child gets so anxiety ridden over noise. I was told by our pediatric neurologist that ADHD kids have hypersensitive hearing and that all noises are elevated to them 10x louder than you and I hear it. He gets crazy when someone is even humming or singing or the tv (down the hall, which i can barely hear) is on. I agree with the others you need to have him evaluated by someone other than your psychiatrist. Mine couldnt diagnose the ADHD either. We had to find a pediatric neurologist. And that was hard because they really dont treat kids with ADHD. I got lucky because mine is studying the disease. He diagnosed him with all the other disorders too. The combination of problems qualified him for a special education IEP. And his test scores were very high. But he couldnt focus for but a minute. And ended up really failing in high school. Somehow we made it through middle with just a 504 but at the end of 8th grade we had many problems which made me go for the Classification. Good luck and welcome again to this wonderful board!
