[quote=Anonymous]My 7 yo son was recently diagnosed with ADHD.  He has trouble in the following areas: keeping his hands to himself, controlling emotions, especially anger and sadness, will cry at the slightest disappointment (someone cut in line in front of him, did not get the part he wanted in a school play, has to go to bed, the list goes on).  I am mostly concerned that he does not play well with other kids   He is great on play dates, one on one, however in situations with a lot of kids, running around, stimulating kind of settings, he immediately gets into a confrontation with someone.  And because he is generally very loud, he will ultimately be the one in trouble. He is a stellar student (academically) but behavior wise we have some work to do.  He does not like or maybe cannot admit when he is wrong, and genuinely believes that everyone is plotting against him.    All of this is painfully apparent at recess, parties, lunchtime, birthday parties, scout meetings. We are in Rockville/N. Bethesda area. Is there a social group that can help with this?  Or maybe someone can recommend techniques or books that I can use.  We used Kazhdin method to eliminate some other unwanted behaviors, but cannot figure out how to deal with the social situation.
