[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 535970, member: 3419"] So, I met with-my own therapist today and she was not at all surprised that the psychiatrist recommended lithium. She has met difficult child and has also heard me talk about him and about how his explosions remind me of an alcoholic, ramping up, exploding, and then being apologetic. And then I remembered out first neuropsychologist, who was actually a psychiatrist, not a psychologist, and how he intimidated me and said, "WhatEVER gave you the idea that he has Asperger's?" and then asked me all sorts of questions about whether difficult child falls off of chairs laughing, and then kicks down doors in anger (yes, but ...) so I finally said, "I can see where you're going with-this." But after all these yrs, I think difficult child could very well BOTH have a mood disorder AND Asperger's. And when the medications don't work, wth, try something else. I have to just get up and keep trying. Soldier on, as they say. When all is said and done, and if and when it included Residential Treatment Center (RTC), Boot Camp or foster care, I will be able to say I did my best. Right now, I am just trying to be open minded. [/QUOTE]
