[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 205241, member: 1550"] Ok, hon, something is wrong and I would NOT see a psychologist for diagnostic reasons. They are not good diagnosticians and in my opinion your son needs an evaluation, not just talk therapy. That may happen after a diagnosis, but not yet. I would still go with the neuropsychologist. He will give you the best sort of testing you can get and your child is VERY puzzling. He has some traits of perhaps an emerging childhood mood disorder or even Aspergers Sydrome, but he doesn't really fit into anything smoothly so you will need a very astute professioinal to get it right. in my opinion it is more than ADHD. Was he ever in distress during your labor? That can cause problems sometimes, even behavior issues. Does you hub perhaps drink too much before he gets too angry? Does he get violent, such as breaking glasses when he's mad, physically hitting the boys, punching walls? If so, he probably has an undiagnosed mental illness, not just anger problems. Most people can control their anger, even those who were in the military (I have a hub who was too...for TEN years)!!! If your child keeps getting thrown out of school for violence, you need to explore the possibilities right away so he can get help as soon as possible. There is help...and hope. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
