[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We are in MD.
Our current therapist is a male after initially starting with a female. They seem to connect. It's only when he's not getting his way with something.
He is currently taking Intuniv, which initially seemed to help reduce and shorten hist outbursts. It does also seem to make him tired.[/quote]

My son is also on 2 mg of intuniv for anxiety, gwhich he takes before bed because it makes him tired.  He takes OTC melotinin to get to sleep. Sleep is really important for these kids. And he's takes a focalin extended release 15 mg. For ADHD/ combination.  
He does weekly tutoring at bethesda library with a brilliant teacher who has helped him gain back his confidence in school. We also have some crazy battles over homework and it's escalated in middle school. You are not alone. But I think this is a cry for help. He's a kid, not an adult, and they're are wired completely differently.  I'm willing to bet he's very smart if he's been able to keep up his grades 
Despite everything that's going on with him.
