[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 60201, member: 1161"] Adding my hi. [img]:smile:[/img] If you're not totally sure, and since you have a psychiatrist appointment next week, I would probably hold off on the medications until then as well. I hope the psychiatrist appointment goes well and you get some answers you need. There is one thing I told my difficult child - that there really is no such thing as a "normal" person. Everyone is different in some way, some people are just better at hiding their quirks and fitting in. Being different isn't bad, it's just the way you are. Of course it takes a while until they believe it, but eventually they see it for themselves in the other kids. (I would sometimes point out things other kids did that weren't always "normal" just to prove the point.) As mentioned, The Explosive Child can be a good book to read to get some insight on our kids. I used some parts of it, not following exactly, and it helped us on quite a few things. Also, you might want to visit the FAQ/Board Help forum. There are other suggestions for reading there, and a thread on how to do a Parent Report. You might want to look at starting one of these, it's great to have things written down before appointments so you don't forget things. Welcome to this wonderful site.
