[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 596318, member: 1550"] Ok, I have no diagnosis for you, but I do have questions about his early years and development. Has he had a very chaotic firs three years? Is there a father in the picture? Any psychiatric or developmental disorders in either side of his DNA and Dad counts even if he has never met him. Was he adopted? Is he nice to animals? Are his potty habits normal? Any interest in fires? Does he hurt his peers or you? Any sexualized behavior? (This is hard to talk about, but many of us have seen it in our kids). I guess I think your psychiatrist is probably wrong. Your child has been this way since his early years. I don't believe all of his behaviors are his fault or that he can choose to control his temper. I would get another evaluation since ha hasn't had one since he was little. I'd get another neuropsychologist evaluation. If your son actually has no conscience, that's a problem. And it's why I asked if he had very chaotic early years because there is something called reactive attachment disorder that causes these kinds of behaviors in children who have seen and lived through a lot of chaos in the first three years of life. Has he seen or been abused? That's another biggie. Does he have any siblings that you have to worry about keeping safe? Does Dad live with you? Anyone there to help? My own suggestion is to give us more of a snapshot of your child's life so that we can maybe give more helpful suggestions. And don't worry about labels so much. Your child needs help and often labels help you get help, if you get what I mean. Not having any label will just make everyone think he is nothing but "bad." in my opinion, he is not just a "bad" kid. He has stuff going on. It would be good if you could share more. Happy to have you join us, but so sorry you had to do so! [/QUOTE]
