[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 413912, member: 1550"] Hi there. I live in a small town and basically we have to travel to get help for our kids (beyond just the normal sniffles and flu) and we do. Sometimes it's a 3-4 hour drive, but it's worth it to have him tested. I would call your nearest university hospital and get him in to see a neuropsychologist. We found them better at diagnosing than psychiatrists because very often psychiatrists leave out neurological disorders when they diagnose...very often they just don't know much about, say, autistic spectrum and may diagnose it as something else when it is actually not a mental health issue at all. Short of evaluating your child, you probably will sadly not see much improvement. Our kids tend to be very resistant to normal parenting methods. Also, please don't get offended that he doesn't seem to appreciate you. Most likely his brain is wired differently than your other children...and he just can't process things right.I don't believe his behavioral problems can be helped by no diagnosis and no outside help and, although it's a pain in the you-know-what to travel, it beats having a violent child in the house. Hugs and I wish you luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
