[QUOTE="elisem, post: 67369, member: 2834"] Weeping Willow-- I THOUGHT they had one, but apparently I thought wrong. The last time we thought about trying to get a diagnosis, when difficult child was five, we were referred to the psychiatric unit at this hospital. Of course, when we talked to them, with a psychologist diagnosis of "probably ADHD, too early to know for sure" they said it would be about six months before they'd be able to see him, and since he was starting to stabilize at the time, we decided not to bother. And indeed, he kept improving fairly steadily (ok, it was 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, but the overall trend was toward improvement), until a few weeks ago when his behavior started to go very downhill steadily, and a few days ago when he's become pretty violent. (He's always been a little violent when he was in a rage, but his rages are fairly infrequent when he's stable--the last few days, he's been in a rage most of the time.) Ah well. Live and learn.
