my son is 7 has adhd plus some other behavior diagnosis. he is in a emotional support problem in are public school. Every time I think he is making progress we go 2 step back and repeat the behavior over again, eloping from school, refusing to do any work, throwing him self on the floor and so on. He needs strict routine or it throws him off. they had off for election day it three him off. He goes to his father's every other weekend and hates it to the point it's forced. When he comes back it takes 3 days to get back. He take 27 of Ritalin in am and 4 of tenex at night and 5 melatonin. He has a MT and A BSE. I dropped him off this morning thinking the bus sets him off on a bad start. I walked him in I just got the feeling the teacher was fed up with him. IDK maybe it's me. He hates school asked me to home school him the other day. I can't do that I feel he needs the social skills. I had to pretty much quit my job work only when he goes to his father's. I literally have no one to watch him my mother will watch him for 2 hours at a time when I take my daughter to her year round swim team practices and meets. I just am lost and am not sure witch way to turn. We the school, I and his lady's, aren't getting him. I fear for what his life will be like if we continue this path.

It is so hard parenting an ADHD child let alone dealing with anger issues. We have been dealing with that off and on for years. The one medicine that is really helps with my grandson's anger plus his anxiety is Risperidone. But he is on other meds too.

Try not to let the school and teacher's get you down.

I know this post was from long ago but I wanted you to know that all these years later it has helped me feel connected. I could have written your post word for word including my mother only watching our 7 year old for a couple hours at a time. I also have had to basically quit working. I hope that you all are doing well and have a good holiday season.
