[QUOTE="ML, post: 483959"] medications are such a personal choice. They do mitigate symptoms but they also bring side effects.. so it is always a balancing act between the two. Manster (13 now) has a bunch of different diagnosis but in my humble opinion the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) umbrella explains most of them; however I have had to fight professionals in this area who insist he has Tourette's Syndrome, ADD, anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (REALLY?!) I keep coming back to something Fran said a few years ago about the "diagnosis" that made as much sense as anything else was "brain wrinkle". You have to rely upon your mommy's instincts. I will say that for us, the medications have made a positive difference. The only negative is the weight gain which I attribute directly to the SSRI. Hang in there! ML [/QUOTE]
