[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 444959, member: 8045"] Thanx for all the info! Allan...I agree with you about the diagnosis...I think the only relevance of a diagnosis is in helping to choose the correct medications! But what was good for me to hear is that the dr feels this 'illness' is more on a neurological level and that we can stop feeling so terribly guilty about all of it! I also have more patients with him knowing that if it's also Asperger, not everything is because of willfull choice, but that he just doesn't have the skills or abbility to behave differently. She suggested speech therapy to help him learn the social skills he is lacking, Occupational Therapist (OT) for the SI and I just thought horse therapy would be great because he once reacted so positively towards it....teaching him to deal with his fears, body posture, balance, and getting in touch with joyfull(different) experience...without any pressure or expectations. Marguirite.....I'll be on the lookout for side-effects,but tell me is Cyprelex and Ciprimal the same medications? My son is on Cyprelex.... Regarding parent counselling....she basickly told us to stop fighting, working on a more relaxed environment....being like gentle bears...slowly but determened not to give in to any ODD temper outbursts....Didn't actually have many time to talk about parenting after I asked ALL my Q and read all my info!
