[QUOTE="Steely, post: 232986, member: 3301"] Join the warrior mom's club. It sometimes stinks, but it is what it takes to make sure our kid's are healthy. I have been accused of a bazillion things from psychiatrists..........don't really care now. I did at the time. However I finally found a psychiatrist that understood my fears, and worked to help my neurosis as well as my kid, and I felt validated and understood. You have to go with your gut. From the day difficult child was conceived I was the most homeopathic, healthy mom, ever. And yet, at age 6, I knew I had to do something different for the kiddo. Since then, we have tried numerous medications. I have demanded the psychiatrists take my kid off of about 9/10ths of the numerous medications because I could SEE the side effects. Many did not believe me, and yet data is now coming out that proves what I saw. On the flip side, I know I overreacted to some situations. It is a hard, hard call. I still am not sure if difficult child is better on or off medications - but I do know that the current medication regimen that he has been on for 2 years - is probably the only one I would not change. I see change, and the ability for him to process things on this medication regimen, that he did not have before. (Never mind it took 12 years.) As far as the AS diagnosis and not using medication vs medication. Again, hard call. I think a lot of it depends on whether there is a secondary mood issue. My difficult child has NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) which is on the cusp of AS, but also has Axis 2 Bi-Polar. We do not know what co-morbid diagnosis our kids are dealing with sometimes until they are much older. Hugs & wisdom being sent your way.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
