[quote=Anonymous]He sounds so much like my son.  Mine is starting 2nd but has the same issues with emotional regulation and impulsivity.  He also has dyslexia and ODD which complicate the academic picture as well.  It's heart-breaking listening to a 7yo telling you there's no place for him in the world.  He's in a very supportive small private school.  His teacher is able to individualize his math and science and he will have separate tutoring for language arts since she has no background teaching for dyslexia.  His psychologist said that focusing on the dyslexia should help his behavior and anxiety since he's internalized "I can't read" and it's very frustrating for him.

Strattera has helped immensely so long as we're able to stay at a higher dose.  His behavior and temper are greatly improved.  His psychiatrist is also talking about switching to Zoloft around Thanksgiving to see if directly treating the anxiety will help.  Because of weight issues, he's unable to take stimulants.
