[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227569, member: 1550"] To me, it sounds like more than ADHD. Who evaluated him? medications only help if you're medicating the right disorder and if there are other interventions in place. I have a few questions that can help us help you. It doesn't sound like the school or your current psychiatrist are really helping him. I'd seek out a private neuropsychologist evaluation. They in my opinion are BY FAR the best evaluations, and I think your son needs one. Ok, the questions: 1/Are there any psychiatric disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? This is important. 2/How was his early development in these areas? Speech eye contact relating to his same-age peers (can he have a give and take conversation or does he tend to just butt in or monologue and walk away when he's not interested?) Does he have any obsessive interests? What sets off a rage? Is it being told no or is it not wanting to transition activities? Did he play appropriately with toys or did he line them up or take them apart or throw them? How about now? How does he do academically? You may want to do a signature like I did below. I'd also delete your real name and use fake ones. Ya never know who reads this ;) Welcome! [/QUOTE]
