[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 97940, member: 1514"] The medications could be a part of the problem but...something about your post makes me wonder if you are not seeing some form of...what is it called...that autistic disorder where the child stops going forward but starts regressing. I have an uncle who we think has that. I say "think" because he was institutionalized some time shortly around 1950 and he has been there ever since. We are not sure if it was the trauma of having 3 of his older brothers go off to WW2 (he was the baby of the family) or if he was just hardwired to have something wrong. From what the family can remember and tell me, he was a fairly normal baby but when the older boys left in early 1940s, he stopped talking and withdrew into himself. He is now what one would call a savant about dates but nothing else. Seems very autistic to me the few times I have seen him. very few. He must be in his mid 60s now. [/QUOTE]
