[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 185446, member: 1550"] HI and welcome to the board. You are not alone. I have a few questions to ask you that will help us help you. 1/ Are you satisfied with the diagnosis. I would not be if I were you. It does not sound like he has CD (which is mostly over 18 anyway). She sounds volatile and moody and suicidal. I'd want to know if he had early onset bipolar or autistic spectrum disorder, high functioning. Who diagnosed this child? What kind of professional. Did he do any extensive testing? How long ago was this? Why does he only see the psychiatrist every 4-6 weeks? That's a long gap. Also, what is an ADHA therapist? 2/ How was your child's early development--walking, talking, eye contact, cuddling, imaginative play, ability to interact appropriately with his peers, potty training, any other "odd" behavior like flapping arms or clicking mouth? Any sensitivities to sound, light, fabric, food, transitions? Does he pick scabs or seem spaced out/zoned out or unable to sit still? 3/Are there any psychiatric or mood disorders on either side of his biological family tree? Substance abuse? Suicide attempts? Has he been on any medications and, if so, did they help, do nothing, or make him worse? If it were my child, I'd take him for a neuropsychologist evaluation ASAP. The poor kid sounds like he is suffering a lot and in my opinion they have not found out what is really wrong with him. And you are suffering too when he gets out of control. I personally would feel uncomfortable about his current diagnosis. I would want a second opinion and a compete evaluation. If you like, here are two links you may wish to look at to see if anything sounds more like your son than what he has been diagnosed with. Ok, here they are: [url]http://www.thebalancedmind.org/[/url] [url]http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/a/asperger_syndrome/symptoms.htm[/url] Others will come along--it can be a little slow on the weekends.
