[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 162756, member: 3444"] Thanks, ladies. Okay, third trial dose of Seroquel tonight... so far he's still pacing -- maybe I'm imagining that it's a tiny bit less. I escorted him on his field trip today (Revolutionary War re-enactment) and that was definitely a good move. He seems to cycle, if that's what you call it, throughout the day. He was very quiet on the hour ride up to the mountains and he even slept in the car for a bit. Once we were there, he perked up and became more agitated, pacing, doing his little tap-dance thing, wandering back and forth as we waited for the school buses to arrive. When his class got there, he became excited and joined the group right away. He is having a very hard time with personal space and touching people too much. Very in-your-face. I gave him just so much room and then had to reel him back in, separating him from the group for a bit until he had calmed down. That was pretty much the way things went for most of the day. He paid attention pretty well during the re-enactments and participated in the activities fairly appropriately. He got very hungry before lunch so I pulled him aside and gave him a snack, which helped him settle down a bit. He ate lunch well sitting with some girls he really likes. But there were definitely times when his behavior was irritating some kids and he was just clueless or thought it was funny. He slept on and off on the ride home. husband had the day off so when we got home we took all three to see a late matinee and then walked next door for dinner. That's when difficult child 2 started to lose it. difficult child 1 was getting bossy with him and so he let loose a scream that made EVERYONE in the food line jump and turn around to see where it came from.
