[QUOTE="Steely, post: 163929, member: 3301"] My son was 6, your son' age, when they diagnosis him with the EXACT same diagnosis. I took MWM's advice, and sought more counsel. I refused to accept the bleak reality they painted for my son. He is now 17, and although he has faced, and still faces a zillion hurdles - he is nowhere near the picture the docs painted. NEVER give up your Mommy hope, and your Mommy clarity. Keep pressing forward with your own instincts. Risperdal is a good medication - but it is an AP used for smoothing the rough edges of a person's extremes. Are they also going to start him on a mood stabilizer that will help target more long term his ups and downs? Something like Depakote or Tegretol? Sending you so many, many hugs..........I know how hard this is. I cried myself to sleep for days when my son was put in restraints, and knocked out with Thorazine. It is the worst feeling of helplessness, ever. This too will pass, and you will sort out what his true diagnosis is, and get him the right help, and the right medications. [/QUOTE]
