[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 210528, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome! I'm sorry you are going through this. However, I think perhaps your focus should be on revisiting what may be wrong with your son (yes, I know it's tiring!) rather than on what punishment will change him. I doubt any will change him for the long-term or in a significant way while he is still so unstable. in my opinion, whatever NeuroPsychs you've seen were not good ones. This child in my opinion does not sound it's just ADHD. If you would do a signature like I did below, it would help us help you. Also, I have a few questions that will also help. 1/WEre his neuropsychologist exams private or through schools? How long were the evaluations? Most NeuroPsychs test from 6-10 hours and test on every level. 2/Are there any mood disorders, bipolar, drug abuse or suicide attempts on either side of the family tree? This to me smacks of a serious mood disorder, and not just depression. According to "The Bipolar Child" by Demitri and Janice Papolous, gory thinking is a common trait of those children with early onset bipolar. And it is commonly mistaken at first for ADHD. I'm not saying he was misdiagnosed and his bipolar, but to me it sounds way extreme for ADHD. If he WAS misdiagnosed, any stimulant can make him violent. 2/Any early speech delays, motor skills problems, lack of eagerness to cuddle or look people in the eyes, strangeness in the way he used toys? Does he have problems relating normally to his peers (kids his own age?) He could also have some autistic spectrum disorder (although these kids are less apt to threaten to kill other people--they DO hurt themselves sometimes with scratching themselves etc). They are rigid thinkers who can not transition from one activity to another very well. They also get tagged with ADHD rather often. And they can REALLY be helped A LOT! My son is a great example. Others will come along with other suggestions. Has he ever seen a regular Psychiatrist? [/QUOTE]
