[QUOTE="cupcakes, post: 236547, member: 5901"] He was diagnosed with ADHD originally by his neurologist. The school district had the risk assessment done by their pyschologist and he diagnosed the ADHD, ODD and CD. There is no substance abuse in the family on either side but on dad's side is a history of depression, however in the risk assessment they found no indications of depression. I do not really feel like I know what is wrong with him, he tested in the 98% for fitting the profile for ADHD. He was on adderol, metadate and then focalin, none of them worked and if anything both incidents occurred while taking the medications, he has never had anything like this happen before, although I do feel like he has trouble in the frustration tolerance and flexiblity domains. (I read The explosive Child and he fits that profile to a tee. ) His development was normal and he has and does have many friends, he is a talented athlete, but not a good student. The court wanted to put him in juvenile detention, but he was let out under house arrest. He has to see the court psychologist for an evaluation and I am trying to find a pyschiatrist for him to see as well. So should have something similiar done to the risk assessment but by my own person? Obviously I do not agree with all aspects of the school districts evaluation, but that is what they are using to expel him and they used it in court. And is a lawyer imperative for a situation like this? We had one for his court case, but not for the school stuff yet. [/QUOTE]
