[QUOTE="shaile, post: 101728, member: 4123"] Greetings..~smiles~ Thankyou for the questions and response thus far. A psychologist was the first to diagnose ADHD in 2006, and he did some therapy with him at that time but it really was ineffective as difficult child does not/can not communicate enough to relay needed information to get anywhere. Most often with everything you are met with "I dont know". We took him to psychiatrist next and they did a more rounded evaluation that took about 3hrs, and diagnosed ADHD rule out ODD. He's had some session with the school psychologist when behavior warrants it. Kindergarten was a nightmare. He repeated it, and 2nd time around was different school, and he ended up in principals office 8 times as well as sent to a behavior school for 3 days. First grade he did fairly well in grades and behavior at school. His regular peds MD whom we trust quite a bit perscribes and works with us on his medications. He only had a increase in the Adderall, and addition of the anti-depressant about 2 months ago. These behaviors of same sort of nature however, have been going since he was about 3. Back then it was a fierce obsession with knives. He is not shy. Is very outgoing, and loves to play. Play is everything to him but he does not do well with social skills. Is often rude and mean to other kids if does not get his way. He appears to treat them more as "objects" to entertain him rather than understanding any friendship or bonds. Alot of quirks. Lines toys up..some hording of odd items/almost like making a nest? Flicks his fingers when he's under the gun/being talked to about behavior. Makes frequent bizarred faces/again mostly when being talked to about behavior, and then ofcourse the obsessions. First was knives, then the weather, then specific movies. He has some problems with loud noises..more so than would seem normal. He did start off with speech delay but we think it was partially related to excessive ear wax buildup inwhich he was treated for and resolved with subsequent speech therapy given for a year in a speech and behavior school. Slight preemie..distant though and not to keen on hugs or close touching/holding. Several medications we've gone through..strattera, concerta, and the Adderall finally showed some improvement in his focus, and decreased some of his whine/cry tantrums. [/QUOTE]
