I consulted three psychiatrist for my 9.2 yrs old son and one say he is having adhd + conduct disorder , another said HFA / asperger and currently he is on concerta 18mg OD and risperdal .35mg OD night time. Eearlier also he was on concerta ,tegretol from the last 4-5 yrs . He is unable to make friends as he wants that he should always win and upon loosing he gets angry and screams,in school also he does this,once started for toy purchase he forces us and upon refusal gets very upset, most of the time irritated,his IQ was 95-110,normal EEG , emotional also , interest in watching too much cartoon , online video games though I control this.

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
What you have described is a normal behaviour of your son for his age. As he throws temper tantrums you give in to his demands and knows how to get his way. In this situation you have to draw a line where to give in to his demands and where not. This is not going to happen overnight but shall take some time. At the same time you should reward him for his good behaviour so that he is encouraged to behave properly.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son all the best.
Regards,
RKK
