[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 365134, member: 8617"] Oh my gosh, that is a baaaaad day. My heart goes out to you. I haven't had time to scan other posts so forgive me if I repeat anything. I wanted to type while your post was fresh in my mind. Summer transitions can be heck on a difficult child. My difficult child in particular falls apart when his routine changes. 90% of his off the wall behavior does not makes sense in these transitional phases so it's hard to say X behavior is because of X event. That makes it harder to understand even when I know it is coming after years of seeing it happen. Of course if their behavior were rational they wouldn't be difficult child's, right? As a parent the ticks would make me nervous too, I tend to panic with medical stuff. However I also have a difficult child who obsessively fidgets to the point that sometimes it seems tick-ish. At any rate regardless of why, my difficult child's behaviors and symptoms get worse in times of stress, namely transitions. If your difficult child is young you may still be on the path of his particular disorder developing, changing and growing as he ages more. We have to change medications with seasons and stress loads. there is no perfect combo in my difficult child's case. This may not be the case with all diagnosis though, in our case there is a path the disorder can take... Take thorough notes, be proactive with the psychiatrist and make sure they really take the time to listen to you and analyze your observations. You may not be the licensed pro but you ARE an expert when it comes to knowing your child. The job thing bites big ones. I am so sorry.
