[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 594003, member: 11791"] Who gave that diagnosis and how long ago? My experience? most of the time, ADHD is either a "starting point" and a raft of other dxes also exist, OR it's a mis-diagnosis and it's really something else (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie for one) Most people with "real" ADHD... respond to ADHD medications. And ADHD does not have "aggression" as one if it's symptoms. Impulsive, yes (usually). Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation by a top-end team, or a neuropsychologist? the 6-8 hours of testing kind of evaluation? How about an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues? Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) screening - especially the "newer" ones like auditory figure ground and auditory discrimination. There is more going on. You can't treat ODD... which is why so many of us fight that label. Or at best, it's a placeholder, indicating something IS wrong... but if that's the case, the process of finding out what really is wrong, needs to continue. Are you keeping a journal or log daily? routines, behaviours, triggers (or assumed triggers), etc? [/QUOTE]
