[QUOTE="Karen & Crew, post: 28598, member: 3504"] Beginning of the school year he weighed 78 pounds. By mid-November he was down to 59 pounds from refusal to eat. He's about 4.5' tall, I think. I don't honestly know. He has a strictly limited "acceptable" (to him) diet of peanut butter (well, b4 y'day), perfectly smooth yogurt (Yoplait or Bryers only) and chicken nuggets from either BK or Wendy's. We have, from time to time, gotten him to eat other foods but something has usually messed that up like a piece of breading around a shrimp breaking and revealing the shrimp underneath, a french fry having a cold spot... He is always fed breakfast b4 his medications are given per the doctor's orders. He gets pb sandwiches because that's what he has always asked for and spazzed out at even the suggestion of anything else. Today he wanted yogurt only in his lunch box. That's not feasible, though. I froze one tube of gogurt but eventually convinced him he'd be hungry with just that little bit of yogurt. He agreed to a plain cheese sandwich but warned me he may throw away the bread and only eat the cheese. I don't believe he's ever had a full neuropsychologist exam. We've seen 3 neurologists. 1st one said he had Tourette's and severe ADHD and put him on 200 mg of Neurontin and 40 mg of Strattera. We moved back to LA and the 2nd neurologist said there was nothing wrong with him other than he was a behavior problem and we should lock him in his room till he repented; that he didn't need drugs, just repentance. I walked out of that appointment with R. 3rd neurologist agreed with Tourette's diagnosis and worked with developmental pediatrician and put him on Tenex. Developmental pediatrician referred him to a psychiatrist. We went to one on our insurance plan. He mentioned Aspergers at the first appointment but never mentioned it again. He had as many problems with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as my difficult child and they didn't get along. He told me when R became violent in school or started failing he'd worry. We went back to developmental pedi who referred us to current psychiatrist who is NOT on our insurance. She mentioned possible Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) at the 1st or 2nd appointment when she started him on Zoloft. Last night was miserable, again as was this morning. I'm really not looking forward to this weekend when I have him with a dozen other Cub Scouts on our spring campout. I'm the den leader and really need to be aware of what ALL the boys are doing but R requires so much attention... [/QUOTE]
