[QUOTE="buddy, post: 481955, member: 12886"] Hi weary. My son also has gotten better on medications. Will he always have problems? YUP but he has a brain injury and autism and attachment problems so of course he will have problems forever. I do still have hope that he will improve. And, he does hurt me at times. We are in a tricky phase now, but had years of good response to medications (puberty has hit now!...when they grow, it is really hard becasue medications have to be adjusted so fast)... I had a similar situation to TerryJ2, the very first day on Ritalin, school called. He was able to sit in a group and listen to a story for the very very first time. He had run around the class for the whole first part of the year. He was on clonidine when I adopted him. we were able to go off of it for a while. Then about 3 years ago we went back on it becasue he started having aggression moments again. It works great. He has issues but without it there is no redirecting it, he can totally rage. On it, the rages are rare. I haven't had to restrain him more than a few times in years. (until this recent new medication bad reaction...that doesn't count). I think it is good to accept if there is a life long developmental condition or psychiatric condition. However, there is always hope for things to improve and be liveable. We all have different difficult child's and different experiences. We can only share from our own perspectives of course. If you feel that there is hope, hold on to it. Ultimately you will have some good times and some challenges. The name of the game. HOLD on to every good moment. I like to tell the funny things my son has done or said, it helps me see the whole boy, not the challenges. HUGS, Buddy [/QUOTE]
