[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187919, member: 1233"] After my son was diagnosed my mother started watching herself. SHe is now diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type. She is on ritalin. It does help her focus, and we can sure tell when seh needs another dose. She can't take any extended release medication because she also has a liver disease. We worry about the effects of the ritalin, but she feels seh can accomplish more on the medication, so it is a good thing. I do NOT have ADHD, in fact the trial of ritalin the doctor gave me so I would have an idea what it was doing to Wiz made me crazy. It stayed active for MUCH longer than it should have, and was very scary. I was glad I arranged for the kids to be with a friend and for husband to be with me that day. I do have significant depression, and had MAJOR PMS when I had a uterus. Prozac is the ONLY medication that ever worked for my depression. I DO think that kids should first take a mood stabilizer, no matter what the problem. Just because so many medications are given that could make a mood disorder worse and cover it up. But that is MY opinion and most docs do NOT agree. Getting a trial of a mood stabilizer for Wiz was never something the docs woudl agree to. The current useless psychiatrist spends 3 minutes with him - just long enough to write the rx. He is doing well, through no fault of the psychiatrist and much credit to himself, the grandparents and Ari (his best friend, a girl, she tolerates NOTHING in the realm of bad behavior. Even the "raves" at the gaming place are drug, drink and smoke free. She made him leave with me the night he "ran away" out of fear my mom would die. We LOVE Ari!!) I can say I see MANY Aspie traits in myself. Enough that I woudl probably be diagnosed aspie based on my history and how girls handle Aspergers. But being diagnosed would not really help as i don't need any of those kinds of medications or interventions. I figured out how to handle things on my own. But I was an interesting child to raise, LOL!! My dad is SOOOO Aspie. Mom and I were reading a teachers handbook on Aspergers once and for EVERY trait we looked at each other and said "Dad". it was funny. he also figured out how to cope. And it was very interesting to be raised by him. As Wiz has discovered! [/QUOTE]
