[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 355936, member: 3419"] Welcome, WhymyAlex! Agee, LOL! I agree ... some people get all the luck. My son is just like yours but ... we don't get the bonus that he is particularly bright. Well, unless he wants to pick a lock. I agree with-the others ... ADD/ODD etc go along with-Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which I would just call Asperger's and get it out in the open. I would not use Zoloft or Prozac for two reasons. (by the way, this is just a mom's opinion.) One, is that they are antidepressants, and he probably needs antianxiety medications (the depression usually hits in the teen yrs) and two, that Zoloft or Prozac work in tandem with-estrogen, and therefore work better on women. (There is an interesting article in Scientific American Mind on that topic in the most recent issue.) For males (and male children) the author recommends medications in the family of imiprimine, which is what we use, and which really works (although it wears off at night ... wish there were time release long-term injections! LOL!) Your description of him being on the same level with-everyone else is right on target. I feel for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
