[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 413914, member: 1991"] We're leaving in about half an hour. That will be 9 am Sydney time, it gives us a chance to miss the worst of the peak hour traffic because we have to drive right through the heart of the city to get back out again. it takes two hours or more, at the best of times, to drive across Sydney. When we get to the beginning of the Newcastle freeway, we will be FREE! Regarding Asperger's in females - it does express differently. And simply living with some Aspie traits especially as things were when we were kids, is enough to make any kid depressed and anxious. A bad mix. I'd be wondering about the enlarged pupils - maybe it was just a dark room? If his eyes are pale, they are more likely to react faster to changes in light levels. I'd be getting a second opinion - if you find something that works, you put up with the problems, unless the problems really are worse than the "cure" (or management, in this case). Another tip - we learned to involve the child in his own treatment/management. Give them some ownership, because it also makes them pay attention either to what they observe in themselves, or what they observe in other people's responses to themselves (if, like my two middle kids, they can't tell any difference in themselves when unmedicated, it's just everyone else who becomes really difficult!). Hopefully I'll talk to you again in two days. Otherwise - a bit over two weeks. Hooroo! Marg [/QUOTE]
