[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 658457, member: 3419"] Somewhereoutthere, I am so happy that your autistic spectrum son is doing so well. Bravo. One thing I have tried to do over the yrs is to take my son out in public, to events, and to put him on teams. He had a few panic attacks during baseball opening season and went home, but the games themselves were fine. Wish he were on a team now. :( Transitioning has always been a serious issue for my son. Once a routine is established, he will resist change with all his might. Through huge effort, he has improved greatly, and to further my point, I know a woman in a nearby city whose son is Aspie and she quit taking him outside. It was just too much work to deal with-the meltdowns. I guess he'll never have a job or live on his own. She is doing him no favors. In regard to your daughter, from your description, it does sound like her personality did a 180. I can't see that so much with my son. I can definitely tell when he's coming down from a high, because his irritability is off the charts. But he has similar, if milder issues, after a steady diet of milk, cheese, wheat and fat, such as pizza and fast food. And red dye. This has been the case since childhood. It's a poison to his system, just like drugs. He refuses to see it. WE can. Red ears, bloodshot eyes, tantrums, diarrhea, etc. You can't tell me he was doing drugs when he was 4. :) by the way, I've been on this board since he was little, so you can go back and read the notes where I started to work with doctors and dxes. If my son were like your son, when he's off drugs, it would be a wonderful world! But he has been unusual and different ever since I held him in my arms when he was 2 days old. His defiance started when he was about 1. I'm not aiming for perfect. Just accountability and honesty. In regard to defiance, follow-through and consistency on our parts, as parents, is really important, and we have not always been good at that. husband is hardly home, and I tend to forget things, especially when I'm stressed. :( Inadaze, lithium doesn't work for autism. And difficult child has been much better on lithium. MUCH better. That's one giveaway. Plus, genetics is a huge factor, and I've met both birthparents and both sets of grandparents. Long story, but he's got a mixture of both, I am convinced. :alien::cry: Also, the bmom and her mother are both extremely defiant. As women, they are considered "bossy." They argue with you no matter what you say. Is the sky blue? Nope. Green. His biodad, who I think is on the bipolar spectrum, did pot for yrs.
