[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone  who has replied. Sounds like Adderall is not helping and possibly hindering my son. We will see his psychiatrist this Thursday and work on stopping this drug.  Our doc is a pediatric psychiatrist and we are very happy with him. We had our son in play therapy for over a year and we felt we got nothing out if nor did he beyond doing fun crafts each week. We switched to a new psychologist a few months ago who is focused on results and he has been very helpful. He is the one who thinks anxiety is the major issue at play. We had a neuro-psych done already but apparently it wasn't good and my son's current psychologist is encouraging us to have it redone.  We plan to do so. I will reach out to Dr. Black tomorrow.

We haven't hired an advocate yet, but I will do so this week - any suggestions for one who has experience in FCPS?  We want our kid to get the tools he needs to succeed socially. Academics are definitely second right now. We just had a FBA done but we haven't really had a chance to get the BIP in place as he has been suspended twice in one week. The BIP was finalized on a Friday about 5:30 and then on Monday he was suspended for two days when he got in from an incident he had while he was waiting for us when we were in the IEP meeting. Sigh. I feel like the school isn't giving us a chance to get it started. Of course, I don't blame them when it comes to safety as my son is hurting other kids. It is frustrating.

I am so grateful for your input. I cried reading the replies - as I am sure every one of you can relate - this is so very hard emotionally.  I am a bit of wreck.
