Hello,
I visited this site about 2 years ago when my then 6/7 year old was showing signs of being a difficult child. It took a long time to get an evaluation. We suspected everything from spectrum to bipolar. Now he is going into 3rd grade and we know that he has adhd and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), social, separation). I strongly suspect a mood disorder as well though they have not diagnosis him yet. My major struggles with him are his defiance and attitude. I feel like I've been raising a teen for years. What saves us is that his anxiety and shyness keep him in check at school.
I just wanted to say that it's good to be back among friends who understand the journey.
