[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 315000, member: 3907"] Jal, you've already had some good input from others but I thought I'd add my $0.02 as well. This behaviour sounds just like that of my difficult child, before we got his medications straightened out. He has Asperger's and bipolar disorder. Stims were a nightmare for him. They did give him the ability to focus, but at great cost as they exacerbated his anxiety, caused issues with extreme weight loss (in an already underweight child), and led to paranoia. When we added an SSRI into the mix (in his case, Paxil), he had severe akathesia and disinhibition. Your difficult child's behaviour sounds like it fits the autistic spectrum to me. Dual diagnoses are always so difficult to pin down. Mood disorder mania looks just like the hyperactivity of ADHD, etc. so it's difficult at first to tell which it is. I'm not qualified to diagnose by any means, but I thought I'd mention my difficult child's experience as it sounds so much like what you're dealing with. Trinity [/QUOTE]
