My son was diagnosed about a year ago and seems to have all those classic symptoms. He seems more "wound" up lately.It's almost like he is intentionally trying to push it to the extreme to seek me react. I have tried to stay calm, talk it out but it is not working lately. He had been doing really well this past year but these last two weeks since school started, wow it's a whole new kid. I am sure it is the stress of school, stress of a recently family death, and change in employment that is just triggering alot of this behavior. But I am not sure how much more I can take. It seems for the past two years we have had two kids, the one we know and love and this other kid. The one that acts out of control, thrives on chaos, discourse and has no empathy for anything. I just feel tapped out and at the end of it all... I love him so much and just want the best for his future but I am not sure how to help him anymore.

How old is your son? Is he on medication? If he is, then you need to talk to his doctor cause it doesn't seem to be working well in his life. Have you considered getting him (and you) some counseling? I know that helped my son and I alot. Good luck!

My son is 19 and STILL arguing and thrives on chaos and also doesnt have empathy it seems. I didnt know this was a classic symptom of ADHD (lack of empathy).

My son is 6 and was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago. It seems he is a different child than he used to be. We are going through counseling and trying different meds. I am extremely frustrated because we keep trying different ones. He is extremely hyper. However, the meds make him lose weight and he is so little anyway. I know you posted this ack in Sept. Have you found any books/ideas that have helped with anger/saying ugly things...trying to make mom and dad mad?! Please help if you can.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
