[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 275996, member: 1233"] Hi! Welcome!!! This is an AWESOME sight, esp when you are at the point of throwing in the towel. It is an unusually supportive and friendly place for parents of kids with challenges. My son has the same "alphabet soup" that your son does. And he just finished his LAST day of high school!!! He is doing amazingly well, esp after his early teen years. My difficult child, Wiz, is on medications. We found a combination that seems to really help him. But not all kids with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (Asperger's is one) respond well to medications. You also have to tinker with medication combinations until you find what works for YOUR child. Listening to your child about medications is also important. At 15 your son should be giving input on his treatment. NOT deciding it, but able to weigh in on it. There ARE therapies that help. If you haven't read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene I highly recommend it. I also recommend Love and Logic books ([url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] explains them and has different titles to fit your situation) as they were extremely helpful for us, esp in getting my husband on the same page with me. One thing that had truly made the biggest difference is helping Wiz deal with sensory issues. I have said that I am a "texture person" for years, long before I had kids. If the texture of something isn't "right" then I can't tolerate it AT ALL. Mushrooms, in any form, are one thing. Same for those microfiber cleaning cloths. ICK. I greatly had my eyes opened by the book "The Out Of Sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz. It is all about Sensory Integration Disorder. Also by her book of ways to treat your child's sensory needs (or your own, in my case!) with FUN activities - many of them with stuff you have already! the book of fun things is "The Out Of Sync Child Has Fun". Well, that is enough info for now. I do encourage you to go to the FAQ.Board Help forum to learn about the abbreviations we use, etc... Hugs!! [/QUOTE]
