[QUOTE="Malika, post: 485835, member: 11227"] Sorry all this is really getting to you Ktllc (and it does). My sense is that what really makes this so difficult is the fact that you have two other young children and a husband who is quite often away working - is that fair to say? Having just a difficult child to deal with is hard enough when there are no other children in the family; having to juggle it with all the rest of your priorities must be really stressful. As for change not happening yet - as you may remember, I don't think one can count on anything being fixed in the short term. However... it does sound to me as though you maybe have the wrong diagnosis (it being so difficult to diagnose accurately at this young age, of course). On a simple layperson's view, with no personal experience, what you describe sounds to me like Asperger's or autism, though you say this has been "ruled out". I get the sense of your little boy living in a world that is not the right shape for him and he is incredibly frustrated... he of course needs specialised help. I know how exhausted and fed up you are with all the evaluations, etc, but is there any chance you can take him to be evaluated at a big city centre, maybe a university hospital? Hugs. Sorry it is so hard. With accurate help it will be less hard, so you have to track that down. [/QUOTE]
