[QUOTE="SRL, post: 34608, member: 701"] At this point I think you need answers and a successful treatment plan more than you need consequences. Until he is stable he should never be left alone with other children. Please don't avoid a trip to the ER if he's out of control--sometimes that is fastest way to get a child help. The one question we always ask here is what kind of specialists did the evaluations. The reason is that there are professionals who as a whole are far more accurate in diagnostics while there are others that jump pretty quickly to treatments. I'm not saying anxiety and depression aren't part of the puzzle but you want to make sure that you are aware of everything that is going on. Often there are other issues (such as sensory issues making the anxiety worse) which make the behaviors very cyclical. Developmental pediatricians or pediatric neuropsychologists would be the best diagnostic options at this age--usually a referral is needed from a pediatrician. Is the only treatment happening for him every other week counseling? I think it's clear he needs more support. What's being done to address the anxiety issues? My difficult child struggled with that area and it not only became very debilitating, it also triggered huge behavioral issues. Developmentally did you note anything unusual, thinking back from birth? Anything in the way of delays or very advanced skills? Unusual or quirky behaviors? Sleep problems? Overly sensitive to stimuli such as light, foods, clothing textures, sound? [/QUOTE]
