[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 288940, member: 6245"] Thanks Marg for the all the info! The only time he had very classic "manic" behavior was one week after switching his medication from Abilify to Tegretol. His hyper periods before that were minimal but he never wanted to sit long to do crafts etc. His main issues before medications were his LONG tantrums and aggressive behavior during his tantrums. That is why he was kicked out of so many daycares. He does display ODD behaviors and natural response to any request from us had always been NO. Since I have been home with him full time and really working with him A LOT of his ODD behaviors have definitly improved. He was also on a Gluten free diet before the medications and it seemed to help him a lot but because of the medications the Dr. asked us to go back on a normal diet. I still restrict his sugar, just like with my other children. I am going to talk to his Dr. when we go on the 23rd to see if I can't get a referral to a developmental pedi from her. I just really want to make sure we are going in the right direction since he is on medications. If he has a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis then I would want to try other therapy's with him instead of medications. I think that is why I am pushing to have some more testing or a 2nd opinion. [/QUOTE]
