[QUOTE="keista, post: 451938, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board! You found the right place for support insights and guidance. Sorry, but what the heck kind of clinic is this? If you had the behavior taken care of at home, he would probably NOT need medications. Can you take him elsewhere to get evaluated? Adhd is often a first diagnosis for 'out of control' kids, but rarely the only thing going on. PTSD could certainly explain this kind of behavior, but did he really have some sort of traumatic events in his young life? So very possible, but you didn't mention it. If there has been no trauma (even 'mild' trauma like divorce or a bad accident), then PTSD is highly unlikely. How does he behave with your parents? Same? Better? Only slightly better? That can give you clues as to what is going on and how to help. If it's better with his parents find out what they may be doing differently, and get SPECIFIC. There might not [B]seem[/B] to be a big difference between "No you may not have a cookie now, we are about to have lunch" and "We are about to have lunch, let's wait til after for that cookie" but with many of our kids it makes a HUGE difference. Welcome again. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
