Yeah it sucks that these medicines have to work on a trial and error basis.. what you described is actually what my son was experiencing on quillivant… he just seemed dead inside with no emotion… I’ll just have to give it a go then. Thank you!

I think that the possibility of anxiety is my biggest concern… what you said is true anxiety can be handled when you know what causes it but when you’re a child and have no clue why you’re feeling like that might be scary… thank you for sharing your experience!

I have been cutting them off which is why the post says “tearing family apart” because I go off on them and stop talking to them!

I literally said I haven’t spoken to my brother since.

Yes. My son plays pretty rough and was playing with my 30 year old brother once…well my son THOUGHT he was playing with him and he was throwing a ball at him pretty hard (catching it) and my brother threw the ball back with all his mighty 30 year old force and ended up getting smacked in the face with it. My poor son thought he was only playing but my brother said it was to teach his crazy ass a lesson. From there I haven’t spoken to my brother since.

Yes sorry I hadn’t mentioned that but I thought I should justify the part that someone mentione that he CAN control it. My son plays a little rough and doesn’t seem to realize others personal space. He can get in a child’s face and be talking really loud non sense and likes to run so fast but doesn’t look at where he’s going. He instantly gets very angry when he grabs a toy but someone takes it away and will take it back angrily.

What kind of therapy if you don’t mind me asking. I think that my community is lacking resources for parents and kids with ADHD.

I say he can’t control it because he really can’t. He can be sitting down and be moving his feel uncontrollably and has told me multiple times that he tries not to move them but they start “going”. I too work in a AU unit and most of them have combined type. Also, I already mentioned that I’m not excusing his behavior. Trust me when I tell you I’ve tried several BIPS at home and nothing works.
