[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 457474, member: 11016"] DDD, It's all day. He can start his morning off wrong, just by getting up. Or the shirt he wants to wear that day is in the laundry room, dirty. His school days are not good. He doesnt do well, he is set off easily. One day they may have problems with him having low self esteem and saying "I can't do this, it's too hard" "no one likes me" "I hate my life". Then he refuses to do ANY work. He hides under his desk a lot. Other days he might be silly, trying to play in class, poking people (he says he's playing), disturbing the class really. When he gets home he is a tad better. He has a snack, does if homework if he has any. If he has had a "good" day at school he gets computer time (he loves!) if his day has been rough he doesn't get computer time. This can set him off. Doing homework can set him off (it's too hard, I dunno how to do it...). He also has GOOD moments through out his day. He had a peer help him in a "safe place" do some Math work a few days ago and his teacher said it went really well. He wants so hard to be like everyone else and have everyone like him--so he tries real hard there, sometimes to the point of "bothering" them. So, I dunno. We've had a hard time with medications. Seems like they all work for a few months, then *poof* they don't. He's been on Ritlin, Strattera, Adderall, Metadate and recently put on Intuniv. He's been on Abilify and now he is on Resperdone. He has had two therapists, a Psychiatrist and now has a regular doctor who specializes in ADHD/ADD/Mood DIsorders. He has been a BLESSING. We saw more progress in the last year than we ever have. We are seeing glimpses of the Carson who is trapped inside. More personality, able to control himself even better than last year (but still a while to go). What supplements are you referring to? We've never investigated this route before. [/QUOTE]
