[QUOTE="OTE, post: 18176"] HUH??? He's on adderall and celexa??? For Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)??? YIKES!!! Adderall alone would make him pick at things like that. It's a stimulant. It will make him aggitated. So any little thing like that that is bothering him will become more annoying and sure he'll do anything to get rid of it. The Celexa would be for the possible anxiety disorder. Are you seeing a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) specialist for these medications?
