[QUOTE="rolleroaster, post: 660725, member: 19277"] Yes InsaneCdn, you hit the nail on the head with school. 4th grade became a complete disaster. I can understand how she would fall apart at school, we actually pulled her out of there and have a new placement lined up for next year. But she has gone downhill AT HOME. We place very little demands on her (take a shower every couple of days, wake up in the morning, go to bed at night, be kind to others). I would like her summer days to have more structure, but it's tough. The pool is great when the weather is good and she wants to go. Other than that she watches a lot of TV, youtube videos, and plays video games. She swings from nice to hateful with her sister, and it is really starting to affect her sister in a bad way. SWOT- Alot of kids with Aspergers are really kind and not hateful. Many have meltdowns but then feel really bad about it and apologize. In the moment they only think of themselves but in the end they are sweet. My daughter, upon reflection after an issue, she continues on about how she hates us. She really does not care how we feel. It is like she will be nice just to get what she wants, not because she is genuine. This is what is SO concerning. Take away her hatefulness and we are back to how she has been the last several years, and no I would not consider any type of mood stabilizing medication for her. But right now, something has got to change. Even the CBT said right now my daughter is just not available to be helped, maybe we need to see a psychiatrist.....which we did. But I am with you about psychiatry not being an exact science. And no I do not want to put her on a mood stabilizer. We also cannot go on living this way. I feel like I am being verbally abused everyday. I watch my other daughter cry because she is treated on and off like a piece of trash. You would think my daughter would want to feel better, you would think she would want to not feel miserable on and off day in and day out. You would think she would get tired of us getting upset with her. But she really doesn't seem to care. The last medication we tried she refused to take after a few days. It takes a while to work and she wasn't having side effects but she refused to take it, said she doesn't want to change. I don't get it. I know this is more than Aspergers. [/QUOTE]
