Hello,
I am new here and have been searching for something to help me with my son.
We knew he was gifted from an early age and have struggled continously with behavior issues, mostly at school, some resulting in violent outbursts.
He has been on some type of rewards based behavior system since he was about 2 years old. I have taken him to therapist who only have me try the same things I have already done.
My most recent and expensive attempt of my now 8 year old has esulted in a full battery of testing with a psycologist, which half way through I can already say are going to be useless. The doctor feels my son is ADHD & OCD, which in my mind contradict each other, and I do not see how he is ADHD when the only symptom he shows is impulsivity.
So here is my question... Does anyone know a good resource to help me? or could anyone reccomend a local psycologist with expecience dealing with gifted children? (Miami, Fl) Everyone I meet just wants to slap a label on my son and medicate him.
