[quote=Anonymous]DC diagnosed with ADHD and we have built our home life around them and their preferences. They explode at random things. Right now it was because I asked them to leave the bathroom for the fifth time so their sibling could use it and apparently had an irritated tone they exploded. DC had been in there for 1.5 hours and we have had numerous conversations over years about not being in the bathroom that long because it's a shared bath. They screamed and said you are such a expletive expletive, what is wrong with you for 10 minutes. This was just a little explosion and it usually involves breaking things.

DC is 16 so you would think we would have managed to address this successfully by now but it continues. I know the first questions are going to be are they medicated, do they have a therapist and have they done other kinds of social skill or other therapies, have they had a neurospych. The answer is yes they have been through everything. We have been at this more than a decade and I am exhausted. I dream of having a peaceful home where I don't have to tiptoe waiting for the next explosion.

Does this sound like ASD to anyone? DC was evaluated and the evaluator said no ASD but could they be wrong. Have you seen ADHD with such severe reactions?[/quote]
