[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 398187, member: 1991"] OK, two suggestions (quickly, because I've got to head for bed, it's after 1 am!) First - read up on Explosive CHild. Second - go check out the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url]. It would explain a lot and also give you a sense of direction. I would consider a working hypothesis of Asperger's. The ADHD, if it's there also, can be connected. It's all manageable, if that's what it is. Hang in there. You are going to have to change what you do, because this kid is just a kid, he can't change. But he's bright, and he can behave for others. A good sign. Other people don't try to control him the way you do (because you're a parent trying to discipline, other people work differently). You can do it. It will get better. And I'll be back in about 18 hours. Marg [/QUOTE]
