[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 216844, member: 1550"] Hi again. It sounds like Adderall isn't working oryou'd know it. My son got mean and aggressive on all stims. It turned out that ADHD was the wrong diagnosis. I've raised five kids way past four and I can tell you right off the bat that the psychiatrist who told you that his behavior is "normal four year old behavior" is out of his mind. Four years olds don't bite, kick, hit. Most two year olds don't even do that. Im glad you have evaluations scheduled. I am still not convinced that a Dev. Pediatrician will know about childhood onset bipolar and I'm afraid you'll go through what we did--a wrong ADHD diagnosis. and stimulants that made him even worse. But I do hope the best for you. It often takes a LONG time to get to the real problem. Oh, yeah. I agree that this is bizarre behavior even with a new baby. My kids were all jealous when a new baby came into the family, but none of them, not even my son with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), acted like that. It's something within the child himself--probably some disorder--and I would buy "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene to hold you until you can see the professionals. It's a great stop gap measure until you stabilize your child. Take care :) [/QUOTE]
