[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 355741, member: 8831"] nice to meet you...if i had a recipe i'd share...heck, i'd [I]make[/I] :-) others will come along who have way more expertise in this area, but i just wanted to say, go with your gut. he sound a bit Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)'ish from what you say. but it also sounds like your intuition is right, that whether it [I]is [/I]or [I]isnt[/I], seemingly the least of his problems right now. we are kind of in the same boat, except we actually have professionals who disagree vehemently amongst themselves...not just husband and i. so i guess i pretty much believe whatever it is, you do need to address the "symptoms"...whether it be a medication change, a behavioral change, or whatever. but in my humble opinion, its absolutely your right to question the diagnosis and ask for a thorough explanation as to why that diagnosis is a "right fit". i almost fell off my chair when one professional based his "tentative" diagnosis on the fact mine was "a bit rigid"....umm, actually, she was post psychiatric hospital and on the wrong medications and a nervous wreck at just [I]being[/I] at a doctors office...(i've lived my difficult child for 11 years...and *i* cant say for sure--a "bit rigid" in a 10 min. appointment doesnt quite cut the diagnostic mustard with me) stick around--great advice, great people and one of the few places you wont be judged :winking: [/QUOTE]
