[QUOTE="oceans, post: 13304, member: 2687"] I have not been around for awhile. Nothing has changed. We keep trying medications and none of them work. We finally talked the psychiatrist into adding Lamictal. Antidepressants have done nothing at all, and sometimes made the situation worse. We went in for an interview at TEACCH to see if we could get an evaluation for high functioning autism. They said they will most likely invite us back, but the waiting list is about 8 months long. We got difficult child into a therapeutic school that his psychiatrist is involved in and he can moniter him there. It is small with a ratio of 1:6. They staff therapists and have therapy sessions. They have behavioral supports. We went there today for the interview, and he is to start tomorrow. All these appointments have been an awful struggle just to get him to even go. Now he is saying that he is not going to this school. There is not other choice really. He is not attending to the school he has been in and has been failing everything. Does anyone have advice on how to get him to go. He is 15 and weighs almost 200 lbs. We cannot pick him up. He also says that he will not go back to TEACCH again, and if they invite us for an evaluation we need to go. We need to find out what is really wrong and going on...... I keep hoping that there will be some medications that will help enough so that it would not be such a struggle. I am soooooo tired! I need ideas on how to get him to go to the therapeutic school....how to participate in the things he needs to do in order to get better.... [/QUOTE]
