[QUOTE="shellyd67, post: 364037, member: 6371"] Welcome ! You just explained my difficult child (10 year boy) to a T ... We live in PA and took him to a neuropysch at the Children's Hospital in our area. He also had one on one counseling for anger management for a year. He was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD.(I am now leaning toward aspergers and am having another evaluation over the summer) My husband did not want to come to terms with difficult child issues for several years. He just kept dismissing it as difficult child being spoiled. My best advice is have an evaluation done with a neuropsychologist and go from there. Having a difficult child is like a rollercoaster. I have felt so many emotions over the years but over time I am learning to deal with him so much better. He is on Concerta and he has improved so much over the last few months. Don't get me wrong he still has tantrums and is very difficult to parent but things are better. I would try and find a neuropsychologist at a children's hospital in your area and have his teacher fill out paperwork and there is so much parental paperwork to fill out but it helps the process move alot smoother. Also, many parents on the board have recommended the book " The Explosive Child" it has been a great read. Good Luck and keep us posted on how things go. [/QUOTE]
