[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 72659, member: 2287"] Ya know, no matter what they call it, difficult child has been treated with behavior mods, medications, therapy, for eight years and he's only (almost) 12. Clearly there's something more wrong than severe ADHD, right? I, too, think it would be best if they just diagnosis "bipolar". Then we might quit getting the ridiculous stares from the school personnel and get help without feeling like it's US who have something wrong. Just last evening, our difficult child came home from the bus ride of 1 1/2 hours and he was WILD. OK, maybe that was the ADHD (maybe not), but I looked at husband and said......"No one had better EVER tell me there's nothing wrong with our son." The normal child doesn't crawl around on the ground at age 12 saying, "I'm huuuuuuungry." or throw things, etc. He was being out of control, just over the top. I see him falling more and more behind in maturity. It's scary. [/QUOTE]
