[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually anger like that is a [b]symptom of something else - anxiety or a learning issue,[/b] etc. I agree with counseling for you and for him, because how you react to these episodes is key and helping you may be more effective at this point. There is also a great book called The Explosive Child that was a game changer for us.

We also took a class with Dr. Shapiro who is fantastic: http://www.parentchildjourney.com/journey/ and he just released a book which I'm sure is mentioned on his website.

If you need specific recs for a therapist, you might try the Special Needs Forum.[/quote]

Thank you so much for this response. We suspect that DS may have ADD, but we had him evaluated by his pediatrician using the Vanderbilt assessment and only our questionnaires showed anything. His teachers did not rate him as ADD so the pediatrician did not give him a diagnosis. I suspect that these things are connected and that there's more going on but I don't know quite what way to go. I'll check out the link and the books. [/quote]
