[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 494320, member: 11755"] We started medications almost 2 years ago due to "typical" ADHD behaviors...I mean the textbook ones, he was also angry and aggressive at home and school, but we didn't medicate to adjust for those. They continued on with-the medications, and about 3 or 4 months after he started ADHD medications we got his initial diagnosis (of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), ADHD, and ODD with-depressive tendancies), here we are now.....still dealing with the same behaviors. Although to be fair, when the dosages are right, things are pretty good....still deal with-some of the meltdowns, etc (obviously) but mostly good. Honestly were it not for the picking we would have just increased his vyvanse and been done for the day. I have considered doing a medication wash and would like to do it over the summer break. I haven't talked to his doctor about it yet though. [/QUOTE]
