[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 685027, member: 11791"] I personally know kids who were raised without the negative connotations around body parts etc. And they STILL came home with the language and behaviors, learned at school. He is 16 if I remember. Which is the worst possible age in some ways - still stuck in the "child and youth" system that refuses to provide accurate diagnoses because they don't want the kids to end up with labels (and what do they end up with? really negative labels because of behavior challenges) - and not quite old enough to be bumped to the adult system. Here, once they hit 17, they can get in to adult services. And for us, adult services finally got us some accurate diagnoses (especially the mental health ones), AND some fairly good work on medications. How long has he been on risperidone? It isn't supposed to be a long-term medication, and has a tendency to cause some level of liver damage. If it's been more than a couple of years, he should be changing medications anyway. [/QUOTE]
