[QUOTE="Sunshineaftertherain, post: 750208, member: 20606"] Than you for all the support and constructive advice My son has been seing a psychologist and psychiatrist for the last 13 years, he has been on medications for many years....currently he is on Concerta, Cyngen ( antidepressant), Abilify and he recently started Epitec ( moodstabiliser) as well... We dont have any IEP in our country, there is also no special therapeutic placement facillities in our country. He is in mainstream, with pressure and external motivatiin he gets average to above average grades....his only interest is technology, doesnt want to partake in any other leisure or sport activities....he has friends, but not close ones, he prevers parrallell gaming online with friends he knows. He has a soft spot for animals and love to feel he can help some one. We have strict rules regarding gaming time.... I have heard of a new therapy team close to us who specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)...but they are very expensive....his poor executive functioning doesnt make his school work slow but he struggles with planning and prepairing. This special therapy centre is going to have a workshop on Pathological Demand Avoidance, thouht this might be part of my sons issues, so I will maybe try and attend that and start building a relationship with the team.... Our biggest challenge is to get him to realize he needs to partake in his schoolwork and take responsibility for it....and to know how to prevent escalation of meltdowns.... [/QUOTE]
