[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 449718, member: 8831"] mines diagnosis is still in flux, and she may or may not be on the spectrum so i'm not sure if this helps any. but i can say with certainty, in our case, possible voice hearing was directly triggered by extremely high stress. you mention moving, and step mentioned a death. its almost a "pushed over the limit" kind of thing--even if it seems out of proportion to a move or or something stressful in our minds--in theirs it can be even more exaggerated, particularly if they are weak in the coping skill area. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), true psychosis, medication related--i am also in the camp that says "voices" must be taken seriously, but its a tread very carefully area for me. in my opinion, without being able to crawl in a difficult child's brain, its very hard to decipher what they mean by "voices" and its root cause. i can also tell you that was the one and only benefit mine got from abilify as a stand alone--but we also got her in therapy and reduced stress as much as we could, so that could factor in too. ITA that he needs to be FULLY evaluated and challenged before release--thats probably my #1 regret for mine's psychiatric hospital stay. i wish you all the best--you sound like you have a good plan [I]in case[/I].
