[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 137017, member: 1550"] I'm sorry it was so tough. I don't necessarily think the therapist made a good choice, following him around while he was volatile. I know you don't want to hear this, but again it is unlikely he will improve without medication. It seems he is not capable of controlling himself without raging. His violence indicates either a form of autism or a serious psychiatric problem. It will only escalate if untreated. You may want to get a NeuroPsycological Evaluation. They are awesome and will come very close to pinpointing exactly what is wrong, then you have to make hard choices. If it turns out he's on the autism spectrum, there are interventions and sometimes the kids can get better without medication. My son is medication free. If he has a mood disorder, however, I have one. It's not really possible to learn not to rage. If you are still anti-medication, I would try alternatives, although they have never worked for me, nor did any special diet (yes, I tried it all). But something needs to be done beyond just attempting behavioral therapy. He is one of those kids it doesn't work for. I wish you luck :) [/QUOTE]
