[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 148169, member: 1550"] Hi there. My first thought is that they diagnosed him wrong and that much more is wrong than ADHD. In fact, the ADHD medications obviously are not working. I would take him for a complete neuropsychologist evaluation. ADHD does not make kids cut themselves. I would be thinking either mood disorder or somewhere on the autism spectrum. How was his early development--speech, eye contact, ability to transition, socialization with peers? Or do you have mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? I'd definitely want a neuropsychologist evaluation. They are the most intensive and best by far, in my opinion. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? Why kind of doctor is taking care of him? ADHD is often the first diagnosis. and often NOT the last one. [/QUOTE]
