[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 266013, member: 2423"] Dr. Riley, thanks for sharing your expertise with us. I know the parents here really appreciate it. I echo what TM said about being trained by a mental health professional in the proper way to restrain a child. We don't want injuries to result in either parent or child. I also want to point out that some children become more explosive while taking stimulants rxed for ADHD. Stimulants can exacerbate pre-exisiting anxiety and cause depression over time, even if a child doesn't have a bipolar-like mood disorder. If your child is getting worse on stimulants, it's something to ask the prescribing doctor about. Tania_port, if your child(ren) is lining up objects, that's a red flag for an autistic spectrum disorder. You should ask your pediatrician who in your area is the best to evaluate for autism. Or call your local Autism Society for referrals. [/QUOTE]
