[QUOTE="nvts, post: 186600, member: 3814"] Welcome BusyBee! I saw your post earlier on, but Heckle Jeckle and Clyde were driving me nuts! We're a pretty good group, and there's not much out there that at least SOMEONE hasn't experienced, so you'll get a lot of input here. Sounds like there's a LOT more than ADHD/ODD going on here! Here are a couple of questions: 1. What type of medications is he taking? 2. Have you had a neuropsychologist done on him? This is a bunch of tests done by a neuropsychologist (you usually get them done in a Childrens or Teaching hospital) that will be able to look at a variety of things and get you a more fine tuned diagnosis. 3. Is there a history of mental illness, autism, learning disabilities, substance abuse in the family? 4. Any type of sensory issues (sensitive to touch, smell, taste, sound, etc)? Try and throw a signature on when you get a chance (like the one at the bottom of my post) this way people can get to know you better! When you get a chance, take a look at Ross Greene's "The Explosive Child". It's a fairly easy read, not a lot of technospeak, that will give you some insight as to how your child thinks. He also seems to have a way of writing that makes you feel like he wrote the book from your living room! MOST IMPORTANT: Don't feel bad about how you feel when it comes to your difficult child. If he's violent, and is a danger to himself or others, then he should be taken to the emergency room and evaluated. Plus: sometimes you just don't like 'em! :winking: My youngest had anxiety attacks because of the meltdowns that went on here. Some kids that are on the Autistic Spectrum, or have a mental illness can get more aggressive with stimulant medications. Have faith, hope and trust that the answers will start coming! We're here for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
