[QUOTE="nandz, post: 365130"] Thank you for all your advice and support, ladies. I appreciate it. I am not taking him off the medications because the Risperdal and stimulant have helped him tremendously in many other ways. We just still have the melt downs and overstimulation at times. I am going to try not to be so critical. it is hard and I know its me coming to realize that I cannot change who he is and even though I love him with all of my heart, I cannot change who he is. It breaks my heart and I don't think I have grieved enough about it. I have to come to terms with it myself and it's been really difficult for me. You all keep telling me he is "spectrum" but not sure I am on board with that. I have talked to his psychiatrist about tics and he said the risperdal would help the tics and that the stimulant is probably causing the tic. He doesn't have any self stimming behaviors like arm flapping, rocking back and forth, noises, etc..but I know he does have sensory issues. No psychiatrist has to tell me that. I know that's what it is. It's just hard and I am just trying to raise him the best way I know how. I am trying not to be overly critical because I know he is doing the very best he can and he wants to please me. I love him and want him to be the best he can be and I just want to make sure I am a good mom. It's not easy parenting a special needs child. Thanks again, ladies. [/QUOTE]
