[QUOTE="nikiani, post: 598970, member: 16375"] I definitely do not want to write him off and we are trying desperately to do everything possible to help and understand him but keeping him under EXTREMELY close watch....He went through 6 hours of neuropsychologist and behavioural testing 3 months ago and I am fighting nonstop with the clinic to get the results. He at this time has not been diagnosed with anything as we just started weekly therapy about 2 months back. The therapist is thinking Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), ODD, and antisocial personality disorder but wants to see the results of the testing to help her better determine her diagnosis. He was diagnosed about 4-5 years ago with ADHD, but I believe it was a misdiagnosis and he has not been on any medication for close to a year now as it was not helping whatsoever in any way. Just to comment more on his personality, he is PERFECT and WONDERFUL around adults....I get comments and compliments from complete strangers every day on "what a wonderful boy" he is. He can flip a switch and put on his "good boy" face and attitude and within seconds, walk in the door and create complete chaos in our home without having to hardly do anything at all. Our dogs ONLY bark when he is in the other room alone with them....it drives me insane.
