[QUOTE="MissRissa74, post: 193656, member: 5884"] Hello again. I thought I would reply and answer some questions you had and also tell you what I found out at the doctor yesterday... First off, Junebug's daddy has dealt with depression on and off his entire life. He's also ADHD. Numerous people in my family are on medication for depression as well. His speech is top of the line for someone so small. He talks like a grown man but is a lot like his dad. Not really emotionless, but it's hard to tell what he's thinking until **** hits the fan. He screams a lot, rather than just talking. He likes to do high-energy activities. Skateboarding, rollerblading, things like that keep him busy. It's hard for him to sit and watch a movie or anything. He can't sit still and be quiet at the same time either. He likes to make lines, with cars, blocks, etc. He once took about 200 of those little cars and lined them across our front room. We would move one and he would line it back up, perfectly. I thought it was funny. He continued to do it and one day I just took a picture of it. He was proud. He never really used to be picky about food, but he's getting worse. He doesn't really like to eat much, but he will if we push him a little. He will wear just about anything but if he wears a hoody, it's zipped up all the way to his neck most of the time. As far as his doctor's appointment yesterday, it didn't go as planned. I did find out that he is Anemic and has a low white cell count. They said that could be why he's not been eating. He's lost a pound since March, instead of gaining. The doctor also put him on something called DMG and said it should help calm him down? I did a little research online for it and found that it's most commonly used for Autism. I'm not sure what to think right now. I called my doctor though, who specializes in behavioral issues and ADHD in children and I intend to take him there today when my daughter gets home from school. Hopefully, they'll be able to tell me something! Thank you for the help though, I appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
