[QUOTE="donedonedone, post: 455501, member: 12680"] diagnosis's are from both school division and specialist Dr's. The fluoxetine is a multipurpose medication for his anxiety and the situational upset he was going through when his life blew up (dad taken away in handcuffs, loss of home, loss of access to dad, new school, new town, mom more overwhelmed than before *marriage was over before his charges came to light just forced my plans for leaving him to change*, new new new! ect...). Dexadrine you have right on the button. Yes, I liken him to having a brain going 200 km/h and his body just can't keep up. Due to the Pervasive Developmental Disorder, he just doesn't function well in the classroom (on top of the whole brain functioning above normal). The aide is there to keep him on task, help him cope with everyday issues that crop up which usually make him implode. Our person is AMAZING... will be freaking the heck out if the School Division lied to me in June. Occupational Therapist (OT) is pretty vague. He used to have amazing gross and fine motor skills very confident and graceful. We have a few things going on with Occupational Therapist (OT) through school. The waiting list for this sort of thing is over two years... so I take notes and do things on our own when not in school. His anxiety of having to 'get everything out on paper' over rides his hand doing that work. Then comes the attitude of 'well people should just know what I mean! I don't have to spell stuff right, they should [I][U]know!!![/U][/I] ' Anyone else see the teenager yet? RAISES HAND! Midsized has not been evaluated. I have dyslexia, my sibling didn't read until he was about 12?, his children have dyslexia... we aren't concerned. He has always been a bit of a drama llama. He is angry about a lot of stuff. Not sure how it will change once dad gets access to them again. Not looking forward to it, but it has to be done. The only behavioural issue is his anger, lack of patience. Which apparently isn't all that uncommon, dare I say.... Normal for a kid who has gone through what he has??? ooooh I said it! I can't even go in to girlie tonight... it has been a day and a half... and she still isn't asleep. Similar to biggest brother, but eats all the things! Her testing has also been through the Division and the Specialist Dr. Sadly yes, I do consistently function on four hours of sleep. A night I get five or more is like heaven. Been like that since the day wasband was arrested. I envy people with infants... at least they have something to keep them busy while sleep deprived. ;-) All three get melatonin to help with sleeping. Some nights it works great, some nights *tonight* it does not. Ah ha ha hah ah ahhhhhhhh giggles then gives a great heaving sigh. You assume these sort of things exist here in any sort of easily accessible way. Sadly, I completely freaked the heck out on the Provincial program workers who DID have some children out at the spray park cause one of their wards lured one of my children in to the washroom *yes I was right behind them and brought a nasty end to it before anything could happen*.

Help me... but we are going to a wedding this weekend, well the boys are hanging out with our Parks Canada friend while girlie is a flower girl! and then staying in a hotel for the night. I'll take the laptop... I have a feeling I'll be back here for inspiration/hope by the end of the day! [/QUOTE]
