[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 191793, member: 3419"] Hmmm ... sounds just like what we were going through until a cpl wks ago, although our difficult child was on Adderal and still is. He broke into a neighbor's house (technically, it was unlocked) and they called the police, which sent us to a new, higher level or care for him. I had wanted our therapist to be more aggressive anyway, but be careful what you wish for. :) I was all set to have difficult child tested for bipolar and Asperger's (there is no one test, but there are places to start) but that's when all ^*@& broke loose. When my son was 10, he hit puberty, developed hair under his armpits and major league BO. He's almost at the point where he is sprouting a mustache. Boy, the behavior kicked in, too. In a sense, that's a good thing because it helps others see and identify what you difficult child may be going through. with-so many of our kids, it's so hard. (Not to mention, so many kids tend to hold it together at school and then explode at home.) One thing I noticed with-our difficult child is that we have to build in a calm, quiet time every day. If he gets too wound up with-video games, for ex, he will explode. We tend to visit relatives at Christmas, and have a s-i-l who is SuperMom, and always has people running to and fro. I always felt obligated to go with-them, and difficult child would be obnoxious. The last time we visited for the holidays, we skipped going anywhere for a day and just vegged out in front of the TV with-footballl, and difficult child napped a lot. It was EXACTLY what he needed. Trust your gut. Keep your eye on him. Have you read The Explosive Child and The Manipulative Child? [/QUOTE]
