[QUOTE="MoonDancer, post: 185363, member: 5742"] Hello! And thank you! I definately remember Janet, MidwestMom, and KatMom. Y'all made some pretty profound impacts in supporting me. It's so good to see that y'all are still here! *chuckle* Bunny, you mentioned the image of my difficult child DRUNK and in full swing of her ADHD as something out of "singing in the rain" with the circus. I think that is a pretty accurate description. Once the danger of alcohol poisoning had passed, I had to contain myself even. difficult child was EVERYWHERE in that little room. At one point, she even stood up on the gurney to sing (incoherently) a song. I'm screaming at her to get down, and the nurse came running in and told her if she didn't stop that, they'd have to strap her down to the gurney. I must admit, it was some comfort that she's a happy drunk, instead of a mean/angry one. Her drunken antics got a little more embarrassing, and I had to beg the ER docs for approval to give her the Focalin. Once that kicked in, she passed out. The poor kid had a heck of a hangover the next morning. My husband offered her some GermX "Hair of the dog that bit you" and she declined saying NO WAY! Hopefully, this is a lesson learned. But between the Pica and forgetfulness of ADHD, I'm not holding my breath. I do know about asperger's and autism mostly from this supprt group. I do agree that some characteristics fit my difficult child. I'm confident as we continue with the new psychiatrists that something will come to light.
