[QUOTE="maryntom, post: 493521, member: 13497"] Thank you for the kind words. I hope that 2012 brings good things for you and yours. We're hoping to get a referral from the pediatrician for a neuropsychologist evaluation, but honestly all of this is still new to me. We've always managed to reason in the past that he was just being a boy, or that he would get over his tantrums with age. he does go to public school. We're looking into an IEP right now. Because of this, the school wants to send someone from the Virginia Department of Social Services to interview my husband and I in our home. We were given the option of doing this at the school, as well, but were told that they prefer to do it at my house. I'm a little worried about giving him medication for ADHD because I've heard so many different stories about it. One friend I have had her son on Adderall and he lost a tremendous amount of weight. My son is in the 73rd percentile right now for his age, which is great, but he barely eats as it is right now so I don't know how he'll do with something like that. [/QUOTE]
