[quote=Anonymous]DC is 6 and has ADHD combined and anxiety. Takes Intuniv (tried Focalin which helped with impulsivity, but had major sleep and irritability/aggression issues and would act out of control/hyper on the evenings). Often yells "shut up" at us when overwhelmed or even when situation doesn't call for it. Often responds to siblings or us with name calling, even in situations that shouldn't provoke a response. When frustrated, will sometimes hit or kick us. Often screams (ear-piercing) in response to frustration. We try to stay calm, remove DC from situation to a quiet place. Cannot talk to DC while it is occurring obviously, but when we try to address later - whether it's a few hours or even a day or 2 after, DC gets very upset and doesn't want to talk about it. Trying to force the conversation results in more ear-piercing screams, yelling at us to shut up, etc. What has worked for you to stop the physical responses? the verbal responses? [/quote]
