My 7 yr old son is ADHD and anxiety - and who knows? AD? He has ALWAYS had a little poop-in-pants/holding it problem but it wasn't daily. Last year, we moved and he started a new school last Sept - he started having peeing accidents. As he adjusted, it got better and then we had Xmas break and...

The last few days difficult child has been giving me a very hard time about taking his medications. He is complaining they are making him feel nauseous. He has been on the same medications for over a year now and hasn't had any side effects other than some sleep issues. He is VERY immature for 10 and can be very...

Hi everyone, I came across your forum while searching for help on understanding ADHD and Aspergers. My 8 year old son has had quite the history of not being able to function well in a learning environment, even back to preschool and daycares before that. All his life I have had various people...

I am a stepmom to 2 and a mother of 2. All children live with me and my husband. He has an 8 year old son CC that i have been raising since 6 months old. At the age of 18 months everything went downhill. CC was kicked out of 4 daycares because of biting (making kids bleed) and physically...

My son is 8 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD shortly after entering first grade. He has always been what others kindly referred to as a handful. I would pick him up from daycare and other parents would go- oh- your HIS mom, wow- you must have a lot of patience! Lately I'm...

husband has been in California for a month training getting ready to go to Afganastan. He will be there until June next year. difficult child has been in RARE form since husband left. We homeschool and he lies to me every day when he says he did his work. I go check it and guess what, its not done. I walk by the...

Sorry - double post!

My 8 year old difficult child is currently on 25 mg. Adderol, 2 mg of Intuniv both in the morning and 1 1/2 mg of Riseperdal in the evening. We just increased the Adderol to the 25 mg. about 2 weeks ago. Lately he has been very agitated at school. According to his teacher he is easily aggravated by his...

difficult child is nearing the end of his stay at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). husband and I had an appointment with his team on Monday. The way things stand now, he will be released from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in the next two weeks (this is mainly insurance based) and then moving into a day treatment program for a few weeks. They have diagnosed a...

Hi! Thanks for welcoming me to the page. Intro: Son is 8 yrs old, ADHD/ODD, Concerta 27mg. Long history pointing to problem, but wasn't until his 7 yr old check up I finally got a Dr. to recognize the issue and questioned me on his behavior in front of her (finally displayed in front of a...

Hello everyone! :) After reaching new levels of frustration this afternoon I went on google looking for support groups as living in a small town means that local support groups are nonexistent, and I found this site. It is nice to know that even though I may feel alone, I really am not. To...

Last night was ...shall we say difficult..at best. Monday is the one day he has to do his homework at home. The rest of the days the school helps him with it. So he comes home with the equivalent of "Mad Libs" where you fill in the blank and it makes a funny story. And he argues with me about...

difficult child is just flat out refusing to take his medications in the morning. The last week or so he just is totally oppositional about his medications. It has been a battle beyond all battles. husband and I have been both trying relentlessly. He takes two small pills so this makes it even harder. husband and I were...

I'm not sure what the deal is with difficult child. We started risperdal @ .5mg back in October. Saw immediate results. But now, we're starting to see some of her symptons again. We're not sure if its due to the excitement of the holidays and all the **** that's been going on or if we should ask the psychiatrist to...

I have a son I am so worried about. He is 9, and we've been having trouble with him since he was 5 and entered kindergarten. He attacked children for no reason and with no provocation. He started in kindergarten, and he had not been having problems anywhere else. After a few months in...

difficult child 2 will consistently have the TV on in his room AND his music playing at the same time -- at comparably loud volumes. What is THAT all about? Sometimes he'll also have headphones on and be playing his gameboy unit at the same time! I go in there and tell him he has to choose ONE thing to...

Hi, I am new to this site. Happy I found it because it feels like when I am going through these issues with my son that I am the only one going through it....a very lonely feeling. Son't know where to start, but I guess I will start by saying that my son, who is now 9 1/2 and a 3rd grader, was...

:sigh: Where to start. I am Shelly 37 married to Marc 37. Mom to Tharyn 11 (ADHD & ODD & Poss Bi-Polar) Duncan 9. Problems started with Tharyn when he was 5. That's when they diagnosis'd him as ADHD. 2yrs later we got the ODD news. He is on Concerta and has tried other medications too. He is so out of...

I have overlooked this issue with L for quite sometime but it is definitely getting worse. Anytime anyone is sharing a story about something they did, or a friend did, or they saw on tv, etc. L suddenly has done this same thing or seen the same movie….regardless of how ridiculous it is & how...
