[quote=Anonymous]My son is 8, ADHD, mostly hyperactive type, on Adderal.  Very strong academically, hyperactivity is in check, but we are struggling with the following issues.  I have not really gotten any concrete answers/suggestions from his psychiatrist.  So if you have dealt with similar issues please respond..

1. Misreads intent of others: for example someone bumps into him accidentally, he will scream that he was hit

2. Does not recognize impact of his actions on others: will do socially inappropriate and sometimes mean things, unable to self reflect

3. Overreacts to everything: if feels lighted over the slightest thing, like his brother took a blue crayon he wanted, he has a tantrum with crying, wailing, screaming

4. Does not have capacity to manage frustrations and setbacks: will have a tantrum, overreact

5. Does not have capacity to problem solve: even with lots of coaching, positive reinforrcement and reminders, he will still react to something in only one way ( crying)

This is impacting him socially, kids are recognizing his differences and he is not fitting in. Where do we go from here? Anyone with positive experience?  will he grow out of it, will he be able to control his emotions with maturity? [/quote]
