[QUOTE="marymoo1, post: 493491, member: 13491"] Hi All Thanks so much for your replies, you have all given me a lot to think about and look into. A bit of my background for you - I have a nephew (sisters son) who has been diagnosis with ADHD at age 15 (2010). She has 3 boys and a girl and all her boys seem to be very oppositial and disruptive in one way or another. She is a single mother coping on her own but with the help of my parents. My sister's son is on medication and that seems to be helping him alot, she is only know finding out what she needs to do etc. i might pass on the link to the forum for her as i know she could do with the assistance of you all. My brothers son was diagnosis with aspergers around age 7 (now 10). So things like this must be in our blood line i guess. I'm not sure what to tell you about my son's early development to me it was pretty normal i guess always had alot of energy but was and still is a good kid, until he started school. He started in day care full time at the age of 5mths (i really needed to go back to work for money reasons but i hated doing it). From there he started school in 2010 at age 4 and 10mths turning 5 in the March. He was on the highest behaviour levels by mid way through the year i was thinking 'you can't get expelled in kindegarted surely". First grade was pretty much a repeat and the teachers did say he was somewhat oppositional but not ADD etc. I will take your advice and go for a second opinion. Also at the early age of around 7mths old my son was diagnosis with atopic ezcema, from there we were directed to the childrens hospital for allergy testing and the result of that was that my son was anaphylactic (eggs, nuts) but since then he's been tested each year and jsut recently Dec 2011 his testing improved which suggested that he's growing out of the allergies, praise God. Yesterday (new years eve) was horrible. we were going out to dinner and NYE celebrations and all i had asked was for him to shower and get ready, i had asked about 3 times then i turned the TV off as he wasnt listening and all hell broke loose, i got spat on which i promptly said to him was disgusting and direspectful and then my husband stepped in. I just feel i'm not able to control him with these outbursts, when he's like that he lashes out and tries to hit me, he picks up things to hit me with. I'm worried about when he gets older if he will hurt himself or anyone else. I am a little softer on him than my husband but it breaks my heart too. i know i need to toughen up and there are going to be hard days though. you asked what does he struggle with - being told what to do period, if he doesn't want to do it he wont for me but if his father steps in it gets done. I know that yelling and screaming at him doesn't work, nor does smacking, as he'll just hit me back. Thanks again for your support. Mary [/QUOTE]
