[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 203674, member: 3419"] Turned out that difficult child had a field trip yesterday until 4:30 so I went to his new psychiatric by myself. It turned out better that way--he would have interrupted us and denied everything. :) I had a ton of paperwork and history to give her and she was very interesting. Of course, she has an accent. :winking: She is very much looking forward to the results of the testing that difficult child will have in the next cpl wks. (6 hrs worth) In the meantime, she suggested giving him clonidine twice a day, since it does not seem to make him sleepy, as that will even out his moods a bit. husband and I decided to try it on the weekend, just in case it does make him sleepy. She's very much into brain chemicals and it's so diff than going to a psychologist/behaviorist! It was validating but also disheartening to hear once again that this is a lifetime issue. I can't help projecting into the future to a time when difficult child is 18 or 21 and refuses his medications. I am hoping this is more of an aspie thing because of the medication issue, too. Silly, I know. I have to live in the present. Our next appointment--with-both difficult child and myself--is in Dec. Oh, by the way, she said the exact thing other doctors and friends have said: "You've got your hands full." If I had a dollar for every time someone said that ... :whiteflag::peaceful: [/QUOTE]
