Michael is 8 years old also and there have been some times when his behavior if angered seems extreme, we do what Danny said talk to him about his responsibility to have control. I think it helps to discuss that while the medications can cause this type of rage and anger, it is their responsibility to control it. I can see him really struggle sometimes, but he is slowly learning to come talk to me about it before it gets out of hand. He also knows that their will be consequences for it, like he will have to give up something he likes for a period of time or not be able to do something. I think for the most part it helps to talk about it. I didn’t notice any of this type of behavior when he was younger, but now there are times when I think, "Gee that seems a bit extreme for anger to me" so I have to agree with you I think it is CAH related and the meds they take to some point, but you are heading in the right direction, don’t let others make you feel bad. I wonder how they or even ourselves would behave if we have our bodies pumped full of steroids on a daily basis, not an excuse, just a fact. 

 

Good Luck and Remember every day is a new day, I hope you have a nice Easter!
