[QUOTE="Calista, post: 119610, member: 666"] Hi NVTS. I've posted to you before regarding B-mod. I also have an ASPIE boy who is now 11. His new psychiatrist states that most kids with a developmental delay, including spectrum kids, cannot tolerate a stimulant. This was very true with my difficult child. Before this new psychiatrist we tried every stimulant that was available. He became short(er) fused, aggressive, less tolerant of frustration, etc... The stims magnified these issues to the point of trying Strattera. Strattera was effective for the first month or so and then we got the same side effects. His new psychiatrist (he's really not THAT new, we've been seeing him since Aug 07) recognizes the need for ADHD medications; however, my difficult child has a mood disorder so....psychiatrist says that once the mood stabliizes we will try the stims again. There was a test done when difficult child was in Placement last May, I think is called P300 or P500, I'm not sure, anyway it is an ADHD indicator on which my difficult child scored quite high. So right now we are stablizing and then we will start a stimulant. He needs it. He does have a hard time with his ADHD symptoms but, it's better than the aggression and the meltdowns. Good Luck. I hope this was helpful. [/QUOTE]
