My child has ADHD and severe anger and aggression problems. I know that I can file for the ADHD benefits, but is there a way for me to quit my job to stay home and care for him, and collect social security benefits?

This is not of course the advice you are looking for and slightly off topic but I would encourage you to do the following things
1. to research ADHD all you can.
2. to contact your local CHADD chapter about support groups for you, your son or both of you. They have many resources to turn to other then just therapy.

3. look in to a more flexible work load. Can you get a job where you could work different hours allowing someone to be home with your son. Evenings, weekends, during school hours if you are not homeschooling
4. Read ADD magazine either online or delivered to your home.

5. check out the website

Though I do not know you or what type of help that you have sought for your son I hope these resourses help. They helped my family very much.
Good Luck

its not easy, but you may get a small stipend for him through social security. But it will be at the most $800 a month, and will depend on your household income and assets.

Nope. That is not what Social Security is for. If you quit your job then all you can apply for is Welfare.

Don't think so because you are not contributing to the system by working and paying into it.
