[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 250900"] Looks like I never updated his age - he's 13 now and has been in therapy forever. I'll update the sig line. One thing I wanted to add about difficult child; the "gift" that he gave to the psychiatrist was really saying what he felt straight out; mostly about beating other people up; how easy child forces him to go after him (not true) and how he has to make himself stop. This coupled with his irrational thinking and easy child's recent comments to me gave psychiatrist some real information for the first time in a while. psychiatrist treats easy child for his ADHD, so he knows him well and really understands how good easy child knows himself and will take what easy child is saying at face value. (easy child can tell me about the tingling feeling if he hasn't studied for a certain part of a test and how it goes away for what he does know.) difficult child has no idea about the "engines"; we've tried this for a long time but he has no concept. I'm hoping the medication changes will help us get there. The only thing he can tell me is that he starts to sweat before he explodes and that he can't talk about the bad stuff-he doesn't know what it is. It seems like a big wall he has up inside. The only thing he's ever been able to articulate is what the stimulants physically do to him, and how he responded to different stimulants. I worry so much about this kid because it seems like nothing really ever works that well for him; yet he does try hard in his own way, always has. It seems like he can never get past the really big stuff so that he can then work and do things like school or sports; things other kids get to enjoy. [/QUOTE]
