[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 148410, member: 3444"] Thanks, Susie -- it's good for me to be reminded of how big this burden is for a difficult child his age -- sometimes I think I expect too much or am too hard on him. The staff today pretty much echoed your thoughts about his lot in life. SW, I agree about the need for him to connect well with the therapist, so I think I'll keep looking, even if it means it will take more time. The school gave me a list of local therapists whom parents have said they liked, and our neurologist also gave me some good recommendations to look into. The psychiatrist is also someone he could talk to, and he seems to like him o.k. He's known him since kindergarten, so there's 8+ years of familiarity going for that relationship. I'll also be asking about the whole medication mix -- and maybe we can cut back on the Lexapro... it did wonders for "curing" him of his needle phobia. For blood draws, he refuses the Ativan now and doesn't even need the Emla cream like he did before. I also wonder if his stimulant may be too high -- could explain the reason he's so quiet and withdrawn in classes yet anxious on the inside. [/QUOTE]
