[QUOTE="nvts, post: 104140, member: 3814"] I know that the Aspergers is correct. Both the psychiatrist and the neuropsychologist (diff. organization) felt that this was a sure thing. The ODD isn't really "dead on" because they both feel that it's the way he defends in "adverse" situations. That's where we get lost. Do we medicate? Is there something else that we should be doing? We have him in a day treatment program, but most of the kids there are suffering primarily environmental behavioral situations (abandonment, family drug abuse,etc.) as well as some who've been placed due to behavioral issues stemming from aspies, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), bipoler etc. It's not an ideal situation, but there are councelors and attempts to try to help "our kind of kids". There's very little intervention directed at purely mental health or developmental kids. Most of the interventions are for purely environmental misbehavior (I'm sure there's a correct term for "environmental" I just don't know the best way to show the difference - I hope I'm not offending anyone - the last several months have been really really tough and I'd hate to get anyone mad!). Bottom line: we don't have any other alternatives. He settles down within 45-to an hour after he takes the Concerta, but he's not showing any lessening of the anxiety with the Strattera (I was mistaken - its 10 mgs of the strattera). Oh Heather, we go thru he** from Nov. 1st thru 12/24 pm. He's convinced that Santa isn't coming because he's been "horrible" all year long and that Santa won't believe him if he's only good during the Christmas season! The doctor cancelled (for which I'm thankful, she thinks she's got strep throat - nope, don't need THAT!!) so I have a little more time to check with you guys! Thanks for all of the help!!
