for one of his "check ups" and have to tell him that I can't really see a difference since Risperdone was added. The only difference I see is that in the last few weeks he went from 65 pounds to 69 pounds. His butt is getting huge.
One of his teachers told me yesterday, all excited, that "he is so much more alert in class, but I still can't get him to WRITE ANYTHING!" I had to remind her that him being alert is because he GOT USED to the medicine...but his behavior is still there. At least he hasn't been to see the Principal lately.
He was very socially inappropriate at a football game and at a basketball game we went to. VERY loud. Wanting to get out of his seat constantly to get something from the snack bar, go to the bathroom, sit by a step sister, laying all over me one minute and yelling at me the next (I'm gonna die..I need something to eat. You are STRAVING me to death!!--all after he got nochos and a bag of popcorn--AFTER eating a hot dog before we left home).
And yesterday, while picking him up from school, another boy was sitting in the floor in the hallway crying because the school library was already closed. Carson sat beside him and rubbed his back and his head, trying to soothe him. He probably tried to strangle this same boy earlier in the year. I know it was sweet of him but it seems he is either angry and inappropriate or sweet and inappropriate. No other boy (aged 9) in his class would have been caught dead rubbing the head of another boy who was crying.
More and more I am suspecting Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)...
