[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 342964, member: 3419"] Welcome! So sorry you have to find us. Best of luck with-your lupus and kidneys. I have a friend with-lupus and her children are grown and she can take a nap at the exact same time every day. She is very regimented. Which leads me to my first suggestion--a schedule. A regimen. A routine. That is so essential for Aspies. My son is Aspie, too. We have had moments like you have had but not as many, from what I can tell. Plus, I don't see any sign of a husband. Can you write a profile signature with-your family info like the ones we have? My poor brain won't remember everything ea time I read your notes! :) The second thing I would suggest is to have wheat and dairy removed from the house. Learn to cook (just what you need, eh? ;) ) rice crusts and use rice or almond milk. Since you know his brain has improper processing speed, it should come as no surprise that his body isn't processing food correctly, either. Have you read any books on Asperger's? It sounds like you're pretty well set with-as many services as possible, but I would suggest an adult or very assertive, older teen who comes in to help several times a week. Can you get your son to go to school? That should give you a break. What sorts of strange behaviors does he have? (My son urinated in the closet for a cpl yrs!! and he still wets the bed on occasion.) My son is on Adderall and Imiprimine, with-clonidine as needed. The clonidine REALLY helps with-rages. Do you have a scrip for it? Can you get one? That's what the use quite frequently in psychiatric hospital because it works so fast. I'm glad you and your other son are at least on antidepressants so you don't kill one another! I know how awful it can be. And you may not have to stay on them forever. I assume you are all in therapy? Have you found a therapist who knows about Aspies? Have you seen the movie ADAM? You may want to rent it. Fabulous. There are only one or two meltdowns but you can see them coming. [/QUOTE]
