[QUOTE="xlagirl, post: 359051"] JJJ - I sure hope that we can get some follow up care for his sensory issues. Because those are part of his triggers for the rages. No always, but some of them. I did get to see him. I went to visit him yesterday (on Saturday) and I bought him a stuffed elephant to sleep with. He smiled so big when he first saw me arrive, and then when the nurse brought out the elephant, he was sooooo happy. He gave it a big squeeze! He was worried that the other kids might tease him for having a baby to sleep with, but I tried to reasure him that a lot of kids sleep with babies. Terryj2 - They had taken my boy of of the Focalin stimulant when he 1st got there, but today they called me and decided to add Concerta and also increase his Abilify. My son has been on Concerta before and it seemed to work okay. (better than Focalin anyway) They also said that my son was on very low doses of the Abilify (10MG 2x a day) and Focalin (10 MG a day). She asked me if he's ever tried Risperdal, and I said No. I have read on this board that some people had problems with Risperal, so I'm a little concerned. Jal - Thanks for explaining about the theraputic school. I understand now. I hope my son can do soemthing like that soon. I would love to get him involved with other kids to help with his social skills, but I have been fearful because of his aggression. Your difficult child sounds a lot like mine..... with the video games, anger, and his high IQ. I really think that our special little guys are the little geniuses of the world!! So Prozac works good for your difficult child? Nobody's mentioned that to me before... I will keep that one in mind. Yes, xlagirl has been my online name for along time now. I used to live in Hollywood and LA but I moved out of state to Oklahoma for many years, and now I am back living in Riverside, CA. Valentine - OMG!
