[QUOTE="ShanDiann, post: 469599"] Thanks for all the quick replies. I seriously have tears in my eyes reading them. It is so nice not to feel judged. I am going to try to answers all the questions and update on today's psychiatrist appointment. 1.husband is R's Bio - father 2.His early development was normal and he hit all milestones on time. The first indication of a problem was around four when he melted down at daycare because someone messed up his line of toy cars. 3.He is actually above grade level in both reading and math. 4. He has always gone through phases where he becomes super obsessed with something. It has varied from age to age. When he is obsessing it seems to be all he can talk about. Right now the topic is rainbows...weird right. 5. He has always been overly social. He will walk up to any random kid and start playing. He has had a few close friends but even those relationships are beginning to fail. The kids are becoming less tolerant of his differences. He participates in Boy Scouts which is wonderful for him. 6. He has always been picky about tags in clothes and food textures. Background noise bothers him. He swears the hum of the air conditioner keeps him from concentrating on his HW 7. My grandmother has bi-polar disorder but our psychiatrist swears it is not it. He says his moods cycle to rapidly within a day. 8. The only evaluation we have had done was by our pediatrician and the psychiatrist. I have recently requested in writing for the school to test him for any disabilities impacting his learning. So at the psychiatrist appointment today. The doctor said he felt like alot of R's behaviors are anxiety driven. He prescribed 10mg of Prozac and dropped the Focalin back to 15mg. I am very nervous about this change but he said that he has had alot of success with prozac in kids. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again for the words of support. You are awesome! [/QUOTE]
