[QUOTE="Snowenne, post: 433477, member: 12088"] Thanks everyone for your words. I know this is hard. I'm not sure that the adderall is doing bad things to him. Ever since he started on it back in January he's been doing great in school. I'm not getting daily phone calls from them either telling me to pick him up or that he's suspended. I was told by the autism place here that they see this alot and it could be that hes putting all of his effort into school and by the time he gets home he explodes on us because he knows we wont judge him and wont send him away. The theory makes sense but this has got to change. I'm only human and I am getting tired with the constant fighting with him. He's always had meltdowns but now hes getting destructive. If he makes something for me as soon as he gets mad he takes it away from me and destroys it. I didnt get a mothers day card or anything from my son this year because he thinks I dont deserve it. Alot of our problems come from the computer and video games. All he wants to do 24-7 is play video games and I wont allow it and thats where hes now fighting. I never believed in medication until recently. I will medicate him if it makes our home life alot better. But it seems that trying to get him medicated is harder than dealing with him on a daily basis. It seems that since his dr didnt give him the diagnosis its like they dont believe me. Last time we went I told him I needed him to be medicated and that resulted in me waiting another month just to go in and talk to him about it. I was so upset last night I was ready to take him to the local hospital to see if they would medicate him. :( I am very stressed and I dont know what to do. [/QUOTE]
