[QUOTE="cfa3, post: 243450, member: 6817"] Thank you for your reply. I have tried the following: -all natural diet, minimal gluten and dairy, nothing artificial, he is still on it -some vitamins, fish oil -sporadic behavior therapy but i do have a good handle on behavior at home and now am consistent with it -Special Education classes for the past 6 years -we did a yeast free diet for a little while as well recently -abilify at 8 yrs old which seemed to help for a few months then my son had the ugliest, most horrifying breakdown where he was suicidal and i thought we would all never recuprate, took months for him to normalize once we finally took him off the abilify As for "Services" for those, the services here in FL are horrible unless youre rich. we've have psychiatrists, a few psychologists, a few behaviorists, nthing has made any major impact on anything except some of the things ive learned from the behaviorists and the things ive learned from researching on my own. we tried talk therapy and wasted a lot of money as my son was/is too immature to do that and the supposed "great" therapist had no idea what to do with him. the tourette's has been confusing, his physical tics stopped exactl 12 months ago and have not returned, so i dont know what to think about that. they stopped as soon as i put him on a high magnesium program. he is not mainstreamed in school because whenevr he has been in a reg classroom, he has needed too much help to get by there on his own, and this district doesnt want to provide a one on one aide. we just made a change to yet another school where they say they will mainstream him, but im not sure how. he has had the smaller environment in a behavior classroom but the problems with that was that the kids in there were REALLY agitated and had a lot of problems which just made HIM act worse, so we just took him out. i havent tried private school because first of all we live in a horrible place for things like good services and any private schools and secondly, the one private school for special needs i did look into here said they dont take "behavior cases"! he has an IEP that i work diligently on, but my god, i work full time and barely have enough time to stay sane much less research the law as much as i would need to for him to have a really helpful IEP. i have tried, i have read alot and advocate and am a very squeaky wheel with the school system, but money and lawyers talk and complaining parents get the brush off. i appreciate your post and everyone else's., i am just trying to figure out how to help him, i think he may just be really emotionally distrubed and it justs manifests in ADHD and other symptoms i dont know because i cannot seem to find a doctor or psychologist who can figure him out. thank you!
