[QUOTE="klmno, post: 184961, member: 3699"] Hello, and welcome!! What kind of dr (pediatrician, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc) diagnosed your son? I ask because it seeems to be fairly common for the first diagnosis to be adhd and odd in situations like this, and sometimes a second or third opinion is warranted. Neuropsychological testing is very helpful in getting to the root of the issues, and I like an MDE, where professionals in different fields evaluate the child together, after the test results are in. Many of us here have had different experiences in this area so our preferences might be a little different, but the real issue is that if your son has started a treatment and it isn't working or is making things worse, then you need to keep pushing for more. You will find many cyber-friends with great experiences to share here. HUGS to you for everything you've been going through- hang in there! Also, maybe I overlooked this in your post, but this testing and evaluation will help you to get an IEP for your son- it sounds like he will need one to get the supports and protection at school that he will need.
