[QUOTE="Shari, post: 169203, member: 1848"] As usual, I don't think I'm explaining myself very well. I'm not against medications to calm difficult child. I wish we could find one that worked. We've tried several, all with very unacceptable results. That said, what I am against is medications as the first and only "line of defense" for difficult child. His doctor is willing to throw blood pressure medications and anti-psychotics, stimulants and depressants at him, without the corresponding diagnosis'es that those medications are indicated for, but haites will freeze over before she will allow him to attend social skills group without having an autism diagnosis (which he has (or at least had, not sure of current status), but wasn't given by her). [I]THAT's[/I] what I can't quite comprehend. And Marge, wee difficult child is much like your difficult child 1 - if he feels stress of any sort, he shuts down, also - and it presents in such a way that he either hides in a small space or comes at you with guns blazin'. It took quite a while to figure that out, but that's [I]one[/I] thing I'm [I]sure[/I] of with difficult child, anxiety is a big part of his issue. [/QUOTE]
