[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 401049"] I think that if the school is calling you to find out what they can do to help you then you need to take them up on that offer. See if they can evaluate him for any learning disabilities. If you have a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) with ADHD they may be able to put some type of IEP in place to help him. Just because he's a smart kid doesn't mean he doesn't need help along the way. If they can help you that's one step ion the right direction. What kinds of problems is he having in school? My son just started taking Risperdal right before Christmas and I can see a significant change in him already. Do you think that the medications that he is on are not helping him? Is the psychiatrist monitoring his weight gain? Is the weight gain making your son unhappy or is he getting teased about it? Talk to the psychiatrist about your concerns for the medications and ask him about taking him off everything and starting over if you feel that what he is taking is not helping his situation, or if they are making it worse. Our difficult child started on Celexa and we took him off it after about two months because it was making him more aggressive than he already was. That was when we started the Rsiperdal. You have found a great place here. Pam [/QUOTE]
