Thanks guys, I was just curious. I think perhaps being bored/frustrated is a problem for him, but I'm really starting to accept that he's got something else going on as well (ADHD/obsessive behaviors.) The way he responds to the mere possibility of not finishing his work, is so completely over the top it blows me away sometimes. We are starting him on Concerta to see if that helps with his impulsiveness and he's already started on Trileptal to help with the outbursts and tantrums. He's going to start seeing a counselor as well on a regular basis, he liked her (she did the ADHD computer-based testing on him) and I'm hoping she can help him to learn how to keep himself calm and not just go zero to a hundred with these freak-outs he has.
