Hi, I have a 8 year old who has been diagnosed with ADHD although there's probably more to it than that. He is very defiant and gets violent sometimes. The violence comes up a lot when it's time for him to get off the computer or my phone when he's playing a game. He flips out when I take it...

I just got done with another marathon yelling session that once again I'm surprised CPS is not at my door. i don't know how to get through to my 8 year old. He was diagnosed with ADHD-ODD. i don't believe he has ADHD, he does too well in school and is "normal". At home he's the complete...

When you get a new diagnosis or additional diagnosis - do you notify the school? 3 year re-evaluation is coming up. difficult child just got an additional diagnosis of Cognitive Disorder not otherwise specified (visual processing / executive function) after some psychiatric testing we had done. Should I tell them, or share the report entirely, or what? Thanks!

So difficult child is 7. Officially diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and ADHD. Though the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis is being greatly questioned at this point. doctor believes there may be a personality disorder going on but he's too young to diagnose.

Hi, I'm brand new. I found this forum today and have spent some time reading through old postings. I'm a little hesitant to post a question that maybe has been answered a zillion times and I just have not found the answer yet, so I appreciate your patience -- and am fine if you just point me...

I figure if they can help shed some free insight into difficult child 2 (and indirectly husband), so much the better for our lives. And it may entail some kind of financial incentive, like the ADHD genetic study we joined several years ago, which is a bonus. The principal investigator emailed me yesterday to...

Hello Everyone! I've been poking around this site on and off for many years while my son was undiagnosed, but knowing that my child was different from others even with people closest to me (and even better, strangers) trying to convince me otherwise. It's a little unsettling and darn right...
