[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 369693, member: 1872"] Hi totoro, Thank you for writing. It is good to hear that the delusional/psychotic times are short bursts only. My son sounds a lot like your K. I can see how the anxiety, ADHD, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), NLD and High-Functioning Autism (HFA) make it so hard for them to stay in touch with reality. We didn't have the head start that you have with K -- we've always been clueless about what's going on with gfg16 -- he's had so many labels we've never been able to pin it down. We had a family session today and are looking more closely at the autistic issues along with the mood disorder. I feel like tiny pieces are coming together. I think you will be able to shield your K. For example, we didn't know what was up with M (after countles medications, t and psychiatrists, phosps) and he ended up in juvie (violent) where he became psychotic. I think somehow that could have been prevented. I'm also reading about NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) for him too. However in my heart I believe that if he hadn't got so sick, he wouldn't be getting the help he needs. I and others are blazing a trail for you for the teen years! You will be ready. I was taken completely by surprise with this psychosis. Getting a bit easier as time marches (drags) on. [/QUOTE]
