[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 250602"] difficult child works hard at maintaing his anger and getting himself back under control. He is very compliant with medications; and has even started taking them at dinner time vs. later in the evening to help him fall asleep earlier since the moods started. difficult child can stop, backaway and get himself under control, but then anything can set him right off again. Several weeks ago, he would have been able to not get so angry immediately, wasn't nearly as irritable (all the time), and would not go right back to getting upset again right away. He is also either extremely hyper or he is shutting down for periods of time (minutes - not hours). He can't respond at all during that time that he shuts down - happens multiple times a day. Then it's like a light goes back on and he's ok for a period of time and then we start all over again. Every noise and thing that happens drives him crazy. We can see where things have gotten more difficult for him week by week over the last 6+ weeks. difficult child is also trying to get along with others such as trying to play with his brother right after he gets upset and then calms himself down (kind of like - see Mom, I'm fine) - but things get out of hand immediately; he tries to play a game with me and can only stand to do so for a few minutes when normally he can do 15 or 20 minutes at a stretch.
