[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751801, member: 23706"] Hi. I would want to reassess my child first. It sounds like more than ADHD. I think ADHD is a big deal, but have nephews with it and they would not have ever been THAT defiant or pulled down their pants. That is a behavior that is distressing enough that it would have gotten a slow poke like me who doesn't like medication that much to go to a neuropsychologist AND psychiatrist to figure out what is going on. Your poor boy could have been molested by a sitter or neighbor. Your son is acting out in sexual ways. Something may have happened. I have a very difficult daughter who was always a behavior problem in school. She was defiant and talked back and pushed other kids but if I had homeschooled her I would have lost my mind and it would not have helped. I triggered her and the school HAS to offer help that they pay for. Hire a lawyer if they wont. We did. We got the school district to have a to help pay for a special behavioral high school for Kay. Would I have quit work? Work is also my sanity...I will probably work some until I die. This is our own company that we built. My son is being groomed to take over. My daughter, the difficult one, is a 33 year old mess. We did not admit to ourselves that we could not fix her when she was young like your son. We did not take her to a neuropsychologist and had not even heard of one until she was old enough to refuse to go to one. She did refuse. I am sorry that we had.not done more when she was a child in the way of professional help. Looking back, not wanting to medicate her as a kid was a bad move because at 33 she self medicates with pot daily and Kratom, she vapes and used all sorts of drugs. She used to cut. She still may. I urge you to listen to professionals who can figure out the big picture and not try to do this yourself. Will he outgrow it, you may wonder? No, he wont outgrow it. Probably wont. Most likely he will get worse without good support. I am not trying to scare you. Just telling you what I have seen. I could be wrong. Trust me, it is not worth guessing, like we did. God bless you. I hope you can get a handle on what is going on as soon as possible. Sounds like possible autism which is very often misdiagnosed as ADHD. Is he adopted? Did he suffer a caregiver loss through divorce? Did he watch adults being violent? My daughter was adopted. In her case her adoption is the root of many of her issues. Breaks our hearts. [/QUOTE]
