[quote=Anonymous]I know the plural of anecdotes isn't data, I know. But I need some stories of behavioral issues improving. My son is 5. He has significant ADHD.  He has had major behavioral issues since he was 2. He requires constant vigilance. Into everything. No attention span. Highly highly impulsive. Grabs stuff, may push or hit his sister at any given moment. Very low frustration tolerance. Does not have melt downs but ignores and avoids almost all basic requests. Is sweet and loving and can be kind but clearly doesn't have a ton of control over this. Difficult to take out the house including to the park because may elope, may bug small kids, grab things, cause disruption. May spit randomly at People.

Has had delays. Still has major fine motor delay. Is in Pep and they claim it's going well. Going to do a full neuropsych at 6 but we've ruled out ASD with ados with a Dev ped and his speech recently tested in solid average range.

That's the backstory. For the behavior we've tried aba and ot. We've been trying a medication these past couple of weeks and it seems to give a tiny bit of relief. And then there's a major rebound. I am despondent that medication isn't going to work and that nothing is going to work. I'm so frustrated with him and often he just doesn't seem to get it. He doesn't get why everyone is always so frustrated with him. [/quote]
