I wondered for a long time if it will be emotionally safe to post this thread on the forum....... But, this is something I think alot of us need to deal with, but we keep it to ourselves because we are ashamed to voice it...... Does any of you need to deel with inappropriate sexual behaviour...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking these forums for a few months now...decided to join. A little about my family (hopefully my sig works!). Together with husband for 20 yrs, he's bio dad to all 3 of my sons (17, 10 and 9). We both come from very messy backgrounds...substance/child abuse. Mental...

He is only 8! He was participating in a fund raiser this weekend that took place outside a retail store. His shift was only supposed to be for 2 hours, but he was enjoying himself and the adult in charge said he was doing a great job, so I left him for 2 more hours. Checked in with him then...

I'm glad i found this place. My son is 11 and i feel totally overwhelmed. He has been expelled multiple schools. I can't hold a job due to his behavior because no friends/relatives can handle him. He's sooo angry I have no idea how to help him. I'm a recovering addict (been sober 4 years) and I...

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...

Has anyone ever used this. difficult child 2 psychiatrist added this to her current medications. So I am just curious if it works. she just started this week.

They said I refused to let difficult child attend their school time, I said no, I refused to allow for an open dialog from school and hospital. He doesn't have any homework, only reading 5 minutes a night and recording it. I will bring that form for them. They said, well it is crossed out, I said I was not...

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...

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!

So, easy child is studying psychology and instead of getting into the "I have this disease-a-week" syndrome, she's getting into the "Let's diagnosis difficult child" syndrome. :) In addition to Asperger's, she suggested cyclothymia. I admit, I've thought of this before, having read all of your notes and comments about...

My DS 1 is continuing to have issues. He is seeing a therapist now and hopefully next week I can make an appointment with the neuro psychiatric. I have read The Explosive Child and I am trying to use CPS for some of the issues, but there are sooooo many moments where I just want to hang my head and cry in...

Our daughter was recently diagnosed with ODD. She mainly displays the behavior at home and with the people who love her most – myself, my husband and my mother (she says she doesn’t misbehave at school because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself). However lately, it seems to be trickling into...

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...
