[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 602907, member: 1550"] Have these two kids been tested by a neuropsychologist? If so, why is that? They really need to be..both of them. You can't help if you don't know what's wrong and guessing is pointless. Obviously what you are doing now is not working. I do not think your son is "bad." I think he has a disorder which makes it hard for him to fit into our world, but that he can be helped. You can not expect to do this without professional help. It's not going to work. Daugheter's demeaner sounds a lot like perhaps Aspergers. Neither child is good socially and often ASDers tend to have a very stoic expression, without changing expression, which can be mistaken for depression. Also, ADHD/ODD is often a misdiagnosis when it is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). If you have seen a neuropsychologist already, I'd see another one for a second opinion. I don't think you are going down the right path with either child. The social anxiety is often also a symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Poor hygiene is often part of it, because they don't really care about social norms. I am sure they feel your love and this is NOT your fault, but it does run in families, although could be father's side. I think you should have evaluations set up ASAP. There is usually a long waiting list, but it's a start. I think you are thinking psychiatric when it is probably neurological. Often psychicatrists do not know how to diagnose for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and can make bad diagnosing errors. My son was misdiagnoed with bipolar and put on heavy medications he didn't need. I don't think your son can control his behavior. He needs interventions and help as does daughter. I wish you luck. Weekends can be slow. others will come along. Is somebody preventing you from getting help for the kids? If you have Medicaid, university hospitals and chldren's hospitals have professionals and normally take Medicaid. It shouldn't be a problem getting in to see somebody. Honey, I say this with gentleness...your son is not happy if he has tantrums that often. He seriously needs help. It is not your fault, but it IS your responsibility to get him seen and then helped by somebody who can do it. You all three can not just go on hoping it will change. If anything, it usually changes for the worse. Glad you came back. [/QUOTE]
