[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 148415, member: 1550"] Hi there. Although, like everyone else, I'm just a layperson, I've been through a lot with wrong diagnoses and to me something isn't jibing between his behavior and the diagnosis. I don't believe your son was born evil or wakes up every day just to see who he can hurt. I think he likely has a deeper disorder that hasn't been found yet (not an uncommon happening). I would take him to a neuropsychologist. They do intensive evaluations that are far beyond even what Psychiatrists do (which is usually no testing at all). I wouldn't rule out Asperger's Syndrome in which kids can act like and appear to have no consciences because they simply do not understand human emotions and have to be taught about them. I am personally also "iffy" about anyone type of "behavioralist" as they tend to blame everything on the child and assume that this child is just a bad egg who is doing all this because he is "evil" (I think that was the word used). I don't buy it. He's still young. Are there mood disorders or quirky relatives on either side of the family tree? I would want to pursue this more, with other types of professionals. As I've said earlier, NeuroPsychs do the most intensive evaluations, often lasting ten hours. They find stuff the others miss. Often Psychiatrists and therapists don't know squat about neurological problems, such as high functioning autism. I'd make sure this child had a new evaluation. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
