[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 208429, member: 3419"] Thank you all. Yes, difficult child is doing very well tonight. He ate everything on his plate and we played cards. I did not know he had missed his medications until after I had cancelled my mtng this a.m. That's when the lightbulb went off and I called the other mom. I wanted an explanation of his behavior and while it made me feel better, in a sense, to know he'd missed them, it didn't occur to me to not have him clean his room at that point; it seemed like a small request. Sigh. I changed it so that he could clean the rm when he got back but by the time I suggested that, he was too far gone, and was fixated on going to Mama L's. by the way, he had a ton of wheat last night; chicken nuggets at his friend's house, and 4 TV dinners last night while I was sound asleep. Sigh. Yes, we are paring down for the holidays. We are driving up to see my brother in Difficult Child on Christmas Day, staying overnight, and coming home. That's it. Typically, we get everyone together in MN or CA but it's just too much this yr, plus, we can't afford it. (I'm sure everyone here is in the same boat.) husband called and had already spoken to easy child on the ph. His comment was, "I guess I can't go out of town." Uh, yeah!!! We are awaiting test results and have a wk to go. I am guessing it's going to be right down the middle between bipolar and Asperger's. It's quite possible he's both. Today I asked difficult child what he thought he was tested for last wk. He said "Asperger's, which is sort of related to autism," and wasn't sure of the other thing, so I told him bipolar and asked him to explain it. He said it's when you get really mad at things and have anger issues, and then you're too happy. I said that was close, and part of it, but you have times of high energy and low energy, which can be sleep issues or depression, and anxiety, excitability and silliness on the other. He of course had to disagree with-that, and then talked himself into a corner while he explained why that description fit him to a T. :) He finally cleaned up the candy from Halloween and it is stored in a bag on top of his dresser, far away from the dogs. The trash (about 20 pcs of eaten candy) is thrown away. I wouldn't normally let him eat that much but he ate an entire chick breast, 1/4 of a head of brocolli, and pile of wild rice for dinner. It took me a min to figure out the initials for TEC, LOL! Yes, I could have put things in basket C ... and in fact, I did ... I cancelled my appointment TWICE today but I was determined to have him show up for baseball. He must be responsible and not let down his team. I also told him he could finish his rm after we ran errands. Whatever. I'm finishing my wine and Snickers and going to bed. :) [/QUOTE]
