[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 233843, member: 1233"] We have a family rule that says any time a needle is involved we get ice cream. Six tubes would mean sundaes! Glad he didn't mind. In our house it is usually ME getting stuck (attacked by the vampires as the kids describe it, LOL! My strange kids always want to watch. They even watched when they took out the power PICT line in the hospital a couple of days ago - 42 cm long! thank you was disappointed they wouldn't let him keep it, LOL! He wanted to play with it to see how it worked. I am glad the docs are being cautious with the diagnosis. in my opinion an Asperger's/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis is very hopeful. many don't even need medications, though sometimes medications are used to control symptoms, esp anxiety. My Wiz is actually in ALL regular classes with very few supports needed now. He is active in the drama club, working to learn to be a machinist, and really enjoying both school and his job (bagging groceries at a local grocery store). He does take medications (for the ADHD that is part of the Aspergers, and for depression and to help him sleep - with-o medications for depression he is suicidal, NOT a good thing.) BUT many with Aspergers can learn to live full lives. I hope fragile X is not part of the picture, and that with this new diagnosis proper supports can be put into place so that he can learn to live a full and happy life. Gentle hugs, susie [/QUOTE]
