[QUOTE="EStephens, post: 545515, member: 15028"] TeDo actually big kid was on Vyvanse for his ADHD. Apparently his doctor thought he had Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but he was worried to mention it because life was so hectic at the time. Big kid had a super low point when he attempted suicide. Scariest time in my LIFE!!!!! That is what sent us to a counselor and then to a psychiatrist to get tested and we were given the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. Big kid seems to do better when he has his medications. Possibly because his ADHD is more controlled so he can actually focus on something other then all the distractions of the world. I have taken him off his medications this summer to try to get some weight on him, (he is a skinny skinny kid) but I do believe he and I both need him to take them. He isn't as impulsive or rude it seems when he is on them. And as far as family goes I wish I had a magic wand and I would beat the heck out of both of our families with it. I hate that you are going it alone. I will keep you in my prayers dear. I handed "don't look me in the eyes" to my mother and it is a pot holder for her coffee. Blah [/QUOTE]
