[QUOTE="jannie, post: 88671, member: 2074"] However, kids can be on the spectrum and have a mood disorder--I know many kids on the spectrum who may become easily frustrated and agitated, but do not have significant anger/mood issues and I know others who have both disorders. Some kids as they mature and recieve therapy seem to be better able to regulate...so perhaps no longer need medications. However when they were younger, were unable to function without medications--There is not clear cut way to diagnose--perhaps just saying mood disorder-not otherwise specified is enough--I don't know what my child "truly" has but right now he needs medication. A year or two ago, Janna was thrilled with the benefits of medication...she frequently told everyone how well the lithium/abilify combo helped her son....For the time that it worked well--she was pleased--now with supports he is trying to function without medications--I say just do what works-- [/QUOTE]
