[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 454306, member: 11791"] First - welcome. Lots of us here are in similar situations - as in, "us" against "the world". And you're fortunate to have supportive parents. But that doesn't solve the problem. You've noted his medications, and his age, and his diagnoses - good start. Who did the diagnosis? how much testing was done? what recommendations were given? What kind of behaviors are you dealing with? Each of us seems to have our own list of "questions" depending on "where we're coming from" - if you know what I mean. I'd be looking at... 1) quality and quantity of sleep - if this is off, behavior is guaranteed to be a problem, AND it makes things like ADHD worse 2) motor skills - how is he with tieing shoes? buttons? how about learning to ride a bike or throw a ball? Do you see him as clumsy? Or, can he do stuff, but it takes him longer? If he has motor skills issues, he's getting to an age where this will affect his perception of himself... and he'll need interventions to work around this. 3) anxiety? medications is a whole other issue - for some kids medications work, for others they don't - and for many kids, its tricky to get the right medication and the right dose... you're on the right track with trying stuff and adjusting dosages etc. but its really hard in the mean time.
