[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 22696, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. If you're in the US, I recommend a second opinion. I don't know that an "anxiety clinic" is the answer. His behaviors do point to many possible disorders, and I'd want a multi-disciplinary evaluation. I don't really believe, no matter what they said (and, of course, I'm no expert) that this child has total control over his behavior and is just deliberately causing problems. Is there anything in your psychiatric background? Mood disorders or any sort? Neurological problems, like Aspergers or anything else? My son acted up a lot as a toddler, and had famous rages, turned out he was on the high end of the autism spectrum, but not before getting tons of misdiagnoses. I would try to get to the root cause of the behaviors before deciding which type of school would be good for him, and, in my opinion, I wouldn't send him to camp if he is aggressive. He could hurt somebody. Also, if he is impulsive, he could run off and into a street, unless he has an aide with him. He's very young--you may not get answers right away, but keep a good eye on him. Again, remember, I'm just a Mom who has a difficult child. I can think of two diagnosis. I'd be looking at if he were mine, based on my layperson's knowledge: a child's version of a mood disorder or Aserpgers Syndrome. If he is very bright, but socially clueless and inflexible and has trouble changing from one activity to another and obsesses over certain topics, I'd especially want him to be evaluated for Aspergers, but an all around assessment for a child his age is the best. At least you can get a "working diagnosis." difficult child--Gift from God (the child God gave us because he knew we could handle it, is how I define it) easy child--Child without problems is the way I define that Pam [/QUOTE]
