At the age of 4 my son was diagnosed with ADHD, Mixed Developmental D/O, and Adjustment D/O with Mixed Emotional Features. He has tried all the basic ADHD drugs and none worked so his doctor (well thats what his shingle said) decided to try psychotropics Respirdal,and now Abilify. I fell into the trap that the medication will be the cure all. All his doctor visits last all of 5 minutes. We come in, he asks how he's been, then he pulls out the prescription pad and thats it. My son is very hyper and impulsive,he won't stay still for nothing, he follows me all over the house even if I'm going to the kitchen to get something from the fridge. he will ask his Grandma to take to the bathroom, the kitchen, etc. He refuses to do things by himself..... His school work is getting worse....he's having problems focusing.... when the answer is right in front of him he just does not see it..... at times he just shuts down and will not do any more school work. He's acting up in school again..he will not stay still...constant movement, fidgeting, making comments/noises. His behavior has also change..he's being aggresive only to the girls at one time he intentionally tripped one. The school psychologist stated he exhibits some autism traits..... I'm thinking of getting him re-evaluated....Any insights?
