Hi all,
I am new to this site and in search of some help. I have a 9 yr old son who has ADHD Bipolar,OCD and ASpergers. He is suppose to be in grade 4 but in 3rd. He is reading and most everythnig else at 1st grade level. He has fits of anger. Throwing things,hitting things. He has not hit anyone,but it has caused him to be kicked out of summer chool. We are to be tested this fall IQ and all,,The school has not placed him in any different claases or schools,he is main streamed. We go to therapy on July 23rd. I have just let him vent in his room,when he is mad. He says I am not going to bed,things like that after about 15 mins he calms down and all is fine. My boyfriend has no patience,not happen) . I do not know what to tell him. He just says over and over that my son is being defiant,does not listen,you repaet over and over do this do that. H has been in our lives 4 yrs and has indured alot with us. It is taking its toll on my relationship. I know counceiling will work. But would like some other answers as well, as this is all trial and error as to punishment. It seems like my son is always and I mean always being reprimanded for something 24/7. If anyone has any suggestions I would so appreciate it.
Thank You so much
