How Do You Stay Sane and Calm When...?

We Answered:

I currently work with STC. Google it and you can get a better understanding of it. But to sum it all down to a few sentences: It is a structured teach class for autistic children (children with sensory issues are considered autistic); we have visual schedules and it is a constant schedule in a day. The teacher I work with have children whom are very similar to yours. She follows the same STC structure and after a few months things calmed down as well as now life is pretty calm and good for her and her family.
I would seriously think of trying that. As far as him and his behavior, once as you get him on a set schedule involving physical activity and calm time. The discipline will improve; I would also look into getting CPI (crisis prevention and intervention) training. The class will show you how to restrain your son without hurting him or yourself. This practice would be helpful when he gets into a mood and though it sounds rough and maybe unnecessary it is for his own safety.
I am a mommy of a child whom requires several medications, so I am 100% behind my child's doctor, if the positives out weigh the negatives it is worth the drug. I hope this helped. If you need any help feel free to email me and I can set up a mock schedule for your son.

Does anybody know when Attention Deficit Disorder can be diagnosed?

We Answered:

Usually around puberty. I am in the camp of those who believe ADD is really just the result of energetic, creative children being forced into unnatural and stifling environments, like the modern U.S. education system. Often when children are given the chance to be active and find their own educational path, the "disorder" evaporates.
