[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 413708, member: 6705"] I strongly suggest a full neuropsychologist evaluation. I think there's more going on than AS, or ADHD, or anything else. The Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) is something that is very much a part of the autism spectrum, from what I've learned. As for the Concerta - Jett had a similar reaction. Super hyper focused (though he can do this when he wishes, without medications) - and he went from normal kid to absolute BRAT. But be careful, if you stop him cold turkey on the Concerta. It [I]can[/I] be ugly. in my opinion, if you think the Concerta's a problem - you're probably right. These docs don't live with him, and only see him occasionally. Also, DaisyFace is right about the struggles becoming obvious. Jett always had problems with reading, and as dyslexia runs in the family, no one was shocked - until he started to regress. When I met him, at age 5, he was about 4 developmentally. Now at 12 1/2, he's around 7-8. The older he gets, the wider the gap. And it worries me, but the neuropsychologist thinks it's PTSD and ADHD, with some NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) - the psychiatrist thinks it's PTSD and his biomom infantilizing him - I'm not so sure - but as he absolutely [I]adores[/I] the psychiatrist, and we are trying to get him to open up about abuse without the "I don't know" and "I don't remember" protecting BM - we cannot change doctors. If your doctor isn't willing to be somewhat open minded, you may have to switch. And it may have to be to another practice... HUGS!!! [/QUOTE]
