[quote=Anonymous]DS is 9 with ADHD combined type and has been having full-on screaming tantrums recently. I try to ignore but the more I ignore the worse the behaviors get. He calls me names, starts slamming doors, hitting the walls and screaming louder and out the window. We are in a townhouse so the neighbors can hear! He can last for a long time as in hours. I am pulling my hair out and don't know what to do!! They only happen at night before bedtime and in response to really small requests like pick up that book you dropped or something his sister said that he found annoying. He's usually good at following directions and there's no pattern in the direction that's given. Sometimes it's one thing and another day it's another thing. Before you ask I have taken Dr. Shapiro's class and he has been in CBT and social skills groups for years. What else can I do? What other type of specialist can help? Should I try a sleep study?
