[QUOTE="Dun Haddit, post: 623545, member: 17823"] I'm absolutely stunned your school recommended the IEP - out here, you have to fight to get them. Meltdown behavior, lack of friends, hi IQ shout aspergers to me, but that is because I have a 15 yo son on the spectrum and throwing chairs or even assaulting people he thought were in his space was common, even though he has absolutely no clue about anyone else's personal space. I have had that behavior in my 8 yo girl who started displaying the violent and erratic behavior when we coldn't get the court to force the bi mother to help select a dr to treat for ADHD. That all came to a head when she destroyed the therapists office and he had the PERT team from the sheriff's department take her to the hospital for involuntary commitment. I have had that behavior in her twin brother who suffers from adhd, inactive type, with anxiety and severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He would perceive someone as being mean and attack them. Smash his own head into walls and stab himself with pencils (again, same issue with sister, bio mom would not agree on treating dr so he was without medications) The above three are the least of our worries at the moment. But the one thing all 4 children have in common is bipolar disorder in the bio mom. All three of our boys are being treated for that and it seems to be working. Our 12 yo has sever issues stemming from extreme abuse by bio mom so in addition to being bipolar, he has depression, anxiety, ODD, and borderline personality disorder. Take advantage of everything the school has to offer and if, by chance, your child is onthe spectrum, you may qualify for respite and other options for after school programs, so get in touch with any and all special needs groups, autism groups, etc. With our biggest problem child, in addition to what the therapist thinks is wrong and the psychiatrist thinks is wrong, we are having him tested for environmental allergies, thyroid issues, hyper and hypo glycemia etc. Before we have him on a cocktail of medications for the mental issues, we want to make sure there isn't anything else that could possible be causing the absolute hell he puts us through. Our cases are a little bit different because there are also abuse issues, and every doctor we come in contact with thins there was prenatal drug use, or smoking, or drinking, or all three. Domestic violence in her home when they lived with her and a whole host of wicked things. do not be afraid to try every angle you can get to find out what is really going on....even if it means diet change, but do that slow through process of elimination and with a food diary. Gluten is the demon for almost anything now-a-days, and though it may be, removing it from your diet may not be the answer and doctors even warn don't do it unless you've been advised to do so. I do recommend probiotics, though. In some cases, behavior can be linked to different yeasts and bad bacterial die-off...what ever you try, give it time to document pro/con results before moving on too quickly to the next thing. I've tried homeopathic and naturpathic for my step children, but medication seems to be the only thing keeping them stable....except the 12 yo, and there just may not be anything that is going to help him.
