We have been through many different doctors and still have not got to the bottom of the problem. He has been diagnosed with everything from Autisum to just being down right "BAD". I'm running out of options...please help.

    • Hug

      From jello5500 August 24, 2007

      I am so sorry to hear of your challenges. Our family is dealing with a 15 year old who displayed some signs at an early age, but not enough to warrant intervention. I can only hope that therapy and professional help will have an effect.

    • Close Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

      My son just turned 7 a few wks ago. And like I have read there are good & bad days. As with anything the good are gr8 and the bad are..well u all know. We have been to c so many diff docs that I can't remember all of them. Everything started when he was bout 2 and it has been a struggle ever since. Yes some things have got better w/ age but it has also presented new obstacles. From the time he wakes up in the morning until he goes to sleep its a battle. I hope i can find some peace/help here.

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      Still on at this time and working for the time.
      Child Time-out Working / Worked
      This only works for him if I am consistant with it.
      Clonidine Working / Worked
      This med is actually used to lower high blood pressure, there are other uses for it and there is a significant change is his moods...he is not so quick to become angry..although he is a bit more sensitive.
    • Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

      My son is 7yrs old and has show many signs of AS along with ODD, ADHD, Bi-polar, ect...A doc diagnosed him with all of this and now we have to c a new doc...who is focused on ADHD...he is still the same way as he always was but now he only has that...I'm very frustrated and just hope that if I can't find peace with a doc them mabe i can find it with someone here...or at least some advice to apply in the mean time.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      I'm still trying to pin point which foods they are...
      Early Intervention Working / Worked
      (speech) I think that any early intervention is always the best with anything...I know that I had not done this then he prob would not have spoke when he did...
      Patience Working / Worked
      Pets Working / Worked
      Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
      Dominic has a hard time going from task to task a pitcure schedule has really worked well with him. He knows that he can look at it and see what he has to do next...we are putting words with the pictures now so maybe he can associate the two together.
      Sign Language Working / Worked
      I met with his teacher the other day and she mentioned that he really picked up on the sign language and seems to be able to express himself easier with this.
