[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 585956, member: 1169"] He needs a complete neuropsychologist evaluation to figure out what is wrong. While he may have some signs of Autism, he also has some clear signs of a mood disorder. The hospital should be able to do some testing, even if they can't do a full evaluation. It is too soon for the Depakote to be at therapeutic levels and the Prozac may just be starting to kick in. It is unlikely that the decrease in his affect is being caused by the medications. Many time a child will be calm when they first enter a psychiatric hospital because (1) they are finally getting intensive help and (2) when it is their first psychiatric hospital stay, they do not understand what they are in for. He is likely not happy about having to deal with his problems because the psychiatric hospital staffis not going to give into threats. It sounds like he is where he needs to be. [/QUOTE]
