[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 469564, member: 11016"] First of all, BIG HUGS. My son was diagnosis as having ADHD when he was 4. But I "knew" something wasn't right when he was 2. He once climbed a shelf, got down the spray paint (black) and painted my washer and dryer...in the middle of the night. Broke 18 eggs in his bed trying to "hatch" them. Poured an entire bottle of shampoo all over his bedroom floor. Drew all over his body with a Fushia Sharpie pen (and I mean..ALL. OVER.). At 4 he couldn't focus at all. Unless it was video games or a certain movie he was intrested in. Around this time he also became a short fuse. Doesn't like strangers or any adult for that matter (except for his parents). He had a very small "personal space". Hit A LOT. Screams "you hate me!" "I wish I was dead!" "I quit! I quit! I quit" (we never found out what he was supposed to ne "quitting" ;) ) At age 8 he was still agressive at school. Hiding under his desk, chewing on his shirt, not sleeping well. Sleep walking/talking. He ran out of school (several times) but once hid behind a building on campus. Hiding from the Principal. He spent A LOT of time in OSC. A LOT. But his grades were ok. He is an avid reader. Video gamer. Cartoon watcher. He has no friends. No one WANTS to be his friend. He gets upset easily. Loses a game in Math? MELTDOWN. The book he wants to read isn't in the library? fit. He was threatened with the school calling the Police. Much of the same this year...refuses to do most work. Refuses to do ANY work that requires writing. Allergic to cursive too. We found out that he also has Severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. And Depression. And a Mood Disorder. We asked for an IEP at school. The school is doing some testing on him. To see if there is anything else going on--and to see if he qualifies for an IEP. If he does the school will make accomodations to help him get the education that is a right to ALL kids. He also is to start seeing a Psycologist who is certified as a Behavior Analyst. He is on a few medications. And he does have good days here and there. He is a loving child. He seeks approval from EVERYONE. He loooves babies (we cant pass one in WalMart without him cooing over them). Even with all his needs he is a blessing to me. You need help, Momma. Ask his doctor what to do, talk to the doctor about IEP (if you want to). Sometimes you have to knock on a few doors--and keep knocking--until you get the answers that feel right to you. You are his #1 Advocate--maybe his only one right now. He needs you fighting for him--and I am sure you are! I also recommend you come here twice a day...LOL That's my prescription anyway. Big Hugs, as you can see, you are NOT alone. And there are some brilliant women on here who enjoy helping others! [/QUOTE]
