[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 406471, member: 2322"] Wow. I don't know what to say. I have many of same behaviors with my kids. For starters I would suspect that he is not on the right medications and the ones he is on may be making him worse. Both of my kids have had problems with SSRIs (Celexa) leading to disinhibition. In addition we have seen more rage like behaviors on stimulants (but also improvements once other medications were on board). We too have to keep all electronics locked up but I don't think my son (difficult child 2) is as smart as yours, although come to think of it he went through all my husband's files until he found the code to the safe so we had to buy a whole new mechanism for it. Do you think there is an chance he might have any fetal alcohol disorder? Some of what you describe is very typical. It helps to know because it might help distinguish what is a psychiatric issue from a neurobiological issue and might keep you from going down fruitless medication pathways. Are you happy with the medical resources you have consulted with? Have you had a really high quality neuropsychological assessment done on him? Hugs. [/QUOTE]
