I agree with the others who said to keep looking for a behaviorist/therapist who can help you. The only other suggestion I would have is to look into the Feingold Diet.

You mentioned that your diet is a healthy one but according to Dr. Feingold, certain healthy foods, like some fruits, have salicylates in them that can cause the kind of behaviors you've described. The diet had been suggested to me by my son's pediatrician. I did find that his behavior did improve when I stopped serving him certain fruits.

Not to push the diet but I also had a dcm who left me to open her own day care. She called me a couple of years after leaving saying her dd's behavior was so out of control, that she was thinking of having her admitted to a mental health hospital for observation but she couldn't find a dr. willing to help her. (Her dd was only 4 at the time!) Long story short, I mentioned the Feingold Diet to her. As a last resort, she tried it and couldn't believe the difference it made in just a few weeks. Not only did her dd's behavior improve but her son's did, too and she told me she had never felt that good in years. Turns out, they all had food sensitivities and once they figured out which ones were causing the problems and eliminated them from their diet, they all felt so much better. The behaviors she saw in her kids improved tremendously. My sil had similar results. She found that she has sensitivities to chicken, turkey and apples among other things. Anyway.....just thought I'd mention it in case you want to look into it. Good luck. I know it can't be easy to deal with the behaviors you've described.:hug:

I second the food thing. Even if you are only serving "healthy" foods, there can be more to it than that. My ADD/Asperger's son cannot have raisins, applesauce or too much apple juice, just to name a few "healthy" foods that are off the list.
His reactions range from a hyperactivity that isn't usually there, to anger issues. It took a while to weed out all the issues, but he does so much better when we keep his diet clean of his sensitive stuff.

Working closely with a doc/naturopath that understands the connections between foods and behavior is very important. Keep searching until you get answers. You are her best advocate. :hug:
