My 7 year old son has problems with anger and behavior he has been tested for ADHD with the Dr. recommending social behavior skill thapery which we have been doing since last June. My mother seems to think his behavior could somehow be related to thyroid problems is this possible and what do I ask his doctor to test for.

If you're concerned it's thyroid,  ask the doc to test for Thyroid.  I will tell you,  thyroid hormones can be HORRIBLY out of whack and if the tests are within normal range so it's not considered a problem.

All thyroid levels have a "normal" range - and if your son is low normal in some and high normal in others,  the problem might be dismissed but could be the problem.  

Does your son have symptoms of high or low thyroid?
