[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 62076, member: 1550"] Hi. Can you give an example of what sets Child A off? Does he hate when his brother gets in his space, not like being touched and overreacts to it, etc. Does he attack Child B when Child B is leaving him alone or does he bother him regardless? Does he go ballistic if his little bro changes something he has done? Just reaching here--has he ever seen a neuropsychologist for a more thorough evaluation? Is he getting school interventions to try to address his social skills? Do you feel he is a vicious kid or just very frustrated and angry? Has anyone ever suggested that maybe he has autistic traits? My son is on the Spectrum the variety of alphabet soup diagnoses you have for your son would send me flying to a neuropsychologist to see if the child is on the Spectrum or has some other Neurological issue or learning disabilities that are making him severely frustrated and inappropriate.
