This is a very odd question. How could this be a surprise to you? Is there something you are not telling us here? I don't know about OCD but he has been ADHD all his life and well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict that a child will hit the teenage years at some point.
The fact that you have mentioned weed leads me to believe that you smoke it from time to time which tells me that you probably are not now nor have been working with this child in a mature and grown up manner and that you have been sticking your head in the sand when things got rough.
I'm sorry to say that now your work is ten fold harder than it would have been to help him and help him deal with his biochemistry differences.
It is also interesting to hear you say two things: 1) that you count the days until he is 18 and 2) he won't have to go to school anymore. It is really sad because most ADHD people are actually very smart and with some of the right type of help, he could be college bound and more succsefull.
The phrase "have to deal with" really sums up everything and reveals your modus operandi of life in general.
I hope he finds someone to help him at some point because I wouldn't be where I am with good solid support.
To sum up my answer, you have made your bed...
I'm not sure what the appliances have to do with it. That is probably slang for something.
No, I can't relate.

I know you've probably heard all the advice you can handle, but I have ADHD. I have never acted that way, and I was not medicated as a teen.
It took a lot of work from my family, but I had to maintain a very structured schedule, down to the time I brushed my teeth. I also had to cut out "white" carbs which include white flours, corn, etc. It seems almost out of reach, but I assure you that going to a psychologist can help plan your teen's days.
Also, as much as you might doubt this, taking him off the medication with get rid of the rage. I wouldn't until you talk to you physician, but ADHD is the most misdiagnosed disorder today. It's more than just medication; it's a lifestyle adjustment. Most people expect teh drugs to make a massive difference, but the truth is if you don't add behavior modification, it is very difficult to succeed.
Join a support group, read every book you can relating to diet and get a second opinion about your child's diagnosis. I hate that today teachers feel that they can accurately diagnose a child and almost be able to force you into medicating them. Get help, and it can get better.

yea smoking pot will fix it...grow up and be a parent now what are you 12?
i deal w/ a ADHD and bipolar boyfriend try that one!! your not the only one in the world and don't think kicking him out at 18 is gonna do anything but make things worse
first you need to get him to the Dr. and talk things over w/ them on what you can do to help him out if he has already been there then you need to make sure he is taken his meds and they are working the right way there is so many different pills out there and so many to try stop acting like there is no help out there
also there are several help groups just look them up online that you can go talk to other PARENTS about their problems and works for them
my boyfriends mom has been doing that since he was 8 and now he is 21 and she still checks on him even tho he doesn't live w/ her any more cuz she is a real parent and worries and still wants to help...maybe you should try that and stop bitc hing about it

Wow maybe you should really sit down and talk to him. It sounds like maybe he's just being a teenager, but you should really sit down and talk to him about the future, and just about where he's going in life, explain that if he doesn't graduate high school then he'll be starting down a long difficult path. Sometimes we don't really think about what consciences our actions can have. As for the weed, I would talk to him very calmly and tell him that he needs to respect your rules and stop. If he decides not to listen then maybe you should stop giving him money, or something like that.
Be very calm while you talk to him, if you get mad, so will he. Always keep a calm voice, and if he starts getting angry keep staying calm.
Good luck!

Sounds like you've given up on him and aren't setting a very good example.
Our 17 yo has bipolar ADD PDD (just a little better than autism). He's on grade level and would have good grades if he could turn in all his assignments. He's on a handful of pills both day and night, but he LIKES taking them. He wouldn't screw up his chances by letting his friends see him goofy and kooky.
Sounds like your son's meds aren't supporting him properly. Think about taking him back to the psychiatrist for medicine adjustment. He may need some therapy, too.
I wish you well.

My son was ADHD and it was white knuckle all the days to graduation. Throw in the fact his dad died three months before he graduated and we almost didn't make it. All I can say is hang in there and don't give up on him. Eventually it will pay off.
