[QUOTE="4timmy, post: 229422, member: 6553"] He sounds [I]a lot[/I] like my difficult child too. Is he taking any ADHD medication? (i.e., stimulants?) My difficult child is 10 and diagnosis'd with ADHD/ODD/Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), but no matter what stimulants we have given him, nothing seems to work for his moodiness thus far. He bounces off the walls though if he doesn't take them. psychiatrist has recently put him on Zyprexa and this doesn't really seem to make a difference either (except make him eat more and gain weight). He couldn't learn to tie his shoes either, so we gave up trying and always buy him slip-ons. He eventually learned how, but now doesn't like to wear shoes with ties because they take too long to put on. (!!) He didn't learn to ride a bike until real late either. He was like 7 or 8 when he finally took an interest. This was total drama too. He still won't flush the toilet .... maybe we will draw a picture now too and see if that works! (Thanks) This started when he was real little, he didn't like the sound of the toilet flushing. Wow, just a lot of your description is so familiar. He would always get agitated if we had to park and walk very far to get somewhere - says it will take too long (hours and hours, forever and ever). Basically, whenever something doesn't go his way, he freaks. Unfortunately, I have no answers.... we are still trying after 4 years since he was diagnosed to get to the bottom of it. I am new to this site too, and have already gotten really good advice. First thing is a Neuro psychiatric! All we can tell ourselves is to keep trying and never give up on them. [/QUOTE]
