[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 243481, member: 3419"] Hi cfa3, welcome. You ought to fit right in here! So many of those behaviors sound familiar. I agree with-Janna, that with-a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis you should definitely be getting good aides at school. That is a neurological issue, not just behavior. They are passing the buck. I've wondered about placing my son in a sped ed class, but didn't, partly for the exact reason you mentioned--the other kids are even more hyper and it can make my difficult child worse. I am so sorry about his reaction to Abilify. Sometimes we learn the hard way. :( When we started the gluten free diet, I still had boxes of wheat pasta and bread around the pantry and in the cupboards. difficult child found them and his behavior would go right back to Square 1. I finally cleaned out everything, gave away the wheat products to my friends and threw the rest away. A total clean sweep. I have Quaker Oat choc chip bars locked in my ofc and I carry the key in my pocket. I just mention this because your note said "minimal gluten and dairy" and you may want to take it to "no gluten and dairy." When we go to McDonald's, we get hamburgers with-o the bun. Lots of people do that now because of the S.Beach Diet. No biggie. I'm still learning about hidden gluten ... just last wk someone on this bb told me to watch out for some kinds of soy sauce. :( I am so sorry that you've had such middle-of-the-road doctors. Heck, *I* can tell you that your son is a complicated, difficult case! :) ;) And I don't get pd for it. ;) It is SO frustrating trying to find a good dr. All you have to do is troll through our notes here and you'll see that you're in good company. But don't give up. There are some good doctors out there. You will find one. I am so sorry that your son hits at school. My son is more the opposite--he holds it in all day and then lets me have it once he gets home. He has matured a lot and learned a lot from therapy. Right now we're going once a wk. When things are acute, we go 3X a wk. For a while, things were calm and we only went once a mo. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
