Hi, everyone-
I went to my appointment with difficult child psychiatric today. One thing I found out that I did not know is that he has diagnosis difficult child with ODD. I brought up to him the fact that from everything that I hear and read, ODD does not stand alone. He said that he has not been given evidence of anything else. He believes the compulsiveness and the sensory issues are all related to extreme anxiety, which I do know that he has.
We talked about the fact that difficult child had two major meltdowns in the past 2 weeks and he is increasing the Tenex from 1.5mg daily to 2mg daily. He wants to see if this improves anything at all. He said that if this does not work, we may try a very low dose of Haldol. The very name scares me. He actually said that he thinks this is where we are heading.
On the way back from psychiatric I stopped to do some shopping and got a call from difficult children principal asking if I could pick him up. He was chasing kids around with sticks at recess and refused to come in when the teacher told him to. It never ends.
I actually have more to say-a big bedtime issue but I will post later.
Thanks for listening.
