[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 199486, member: 1550"] Hi there. I can't tell you what type of treatment to seek, but I do suggest forgetting about the doctor who says he's too young for a diagnosis and maybe seeking out a MDE or seeing a neuropsychologist evaluation (my personal favorite type as they are very throrough). You don't know what he has as ADHD behavior is common in many disorders and they mimic one another. Being hateful is not really an ADHD trait. I would want to get a diagnosis so I could start interventions ASAP. I do have a few questions that can help us help you: 1/How was his early development? Speech? Eye contact? How does he interact with peers of his own age? Does he like to cuddle? Does he play appropriately with toys? Does he have any strange quirks, such as rocking, making mouth or tongue sounds, high pitched noises, flapping arms? Is he sensitive to anything--food textures, materials, loud noises? Can he transition well from one activity to another? 2/Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of the family tree? These can be red flags for certain disorders. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
