[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 394396, member: 1991"] Explosive Child methods can work for the therapist too. It's a matter of going as close as possible to the uncomfortable topics, without driving difficult child out of the room. Backing off before it drives him out, then keeping up as much discomfort as difficult child will tolerate (they do tolerate more and more, gradually, over time). It does start off very slow, but often any progress is a bonus. But it also teaches difficult child that feeling uncomfortable is OK, it won't kill him. Seriously - he sounds like he has major anxiety issues driving his reactions. Hopefully the risperdal will make a difference. Watch his weight though. Also watch the sleepiness. The risperdal dose can vary wildly, and not related to symptoms. difficult child 1, although much bigger physically than his baby brother, was only able to take about a quarter the dose and still had far more side effects.
