[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 43838, member: 2423"] Ella, welcome! I'm glad you found us. Have you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? It's a book that has helped many of us here parent our extra-challenging children. It sounds as if it might help you, too. Do you know why Seb is refusing his medications? Sometimes it's the way they taste or the way they make the child feel or something else entirely. Once we figured out why my son didn't want to take his medications, we were able to work with his doctor to come up with a solution my son could live with. Finding a way for him to "buy in" solved our problem. One other question: What kind of doctor diagnosed Seb? With ADHD-like symptoms, sensory issues, oppositional behavior and a gifted IQ, there's a chance you may be looking at Asperger's Syndrome (I'm not diagnosing over the internet, just throwing out the possibility in the event you haven't considered it). Kids with AS frequently need specialized interventions both at home and at school to help them succeed. Again, welcome. You will find a lot of support here. [/QUOTE]
