[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 209435, member: 1550"] Hi. His drug abuse is kicking up his behavior problems, even if he has been misdiagnosed. My guess is he probably has more than ADHD/ODD going on. But any sort of drug abuse will make things far worse. We dealt with my daughter and, in the end, she had to leave home to want to help herself. If you have any mood disorders or substance abuse on either side of the family tree, I'd wonder if he had bipolar disorder and has been on the wrong medications. But, at this time, if he is abusing drugs, other medications won't help him. His constant lack of social skills could be Aspergers...both bipolar and Aspie kids can get into drugs to blunt the pain (especially bipolar kids). I hope you can get him a new and complete evaluation. Good luck to all of you. [/QUOTE]
