[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 362838, member: 3907"] Terry, I'm so very sorry this continues and that difficult child doesn't seem to be making any progress, despite all the therapy and interventions. I continue to be astonished by the parallels between your difficult child and mine. It's like watching mine grow up all over again. Thinking about what worked and what didn't work for my largest monster, we found that because he has the combination Aspergers/Mood Disorder, the Concerta was really affecting him badly. It DID impart control and focus, but the agitation, hostility, oppositional behaviour, extreme defiance, pulling things apart, sneaking, lack of boundaries, stealing, break-ins, etc., ad nauseam all were so much worse. He simply wasn't able to control himself. SSRI medications made things so much worse. I don't know whether you're mentally or physically prepared to deal with a medication change, but I think that the mood disorder might be contributing strongly to your difficult child's behaviour and that you might need to get that reined in before any interventions for the Aspergers really stick. Also, given your difficult child's age and size, it's really important that you get him in line now before you're completely unable to manage him physically. I'm so very sorry for your string of no good very bad terrible awful days. Hope things get better soon. Trinity [/QUOTE]
