[QUOTE="dirtmama, post: 357479, member: 8909"] marg, i mis-paraphrased her words---sorry. she (psychiatrist) also said that adhd may indeed still be in the mix...i believe so. the stims do have some positive effect. (54mg for a 50lb boy helps him a bit with- focus @ school but doen't keep him in his seat) but even with- the weaning he's going ballistic when they wear off. (manic-like symptoms) so i guess we are at least ruleing out if its a bad rebound?? the risperidal is doing absolutly nothing even at 2mgx2, except he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. if an adult behaved in the manner he is...they would certainly be hospitalized. oh one other thing, this manic-like behavior has come on gradually since the beginning of the school year. time to batten down the hatches for this weekend...ugh. difficult child has therapist apt 2night @ 5...he should be in rare form for that. at least therapist will get to see what we are dealing with-. i am afraid of misdiagnosis though marg--i see the aspie characteristics clearly but that is while he is fairly tame--it's like part of his eccentric personality. honestly i haven't seen that boy in at least a month and boy do i miss him. i am not doubting you in any way. i think it's a piece of this puzzle. i know you have alot of experience with- all of this and i always look forward to reading your posts. you seem very wise.
