[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 89665"] The Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues do come into play when it comes to taking pills. However, lexapro is a little pill and she put it into a spoonful of pudding and never noticed it. It's a control issue, I have to believe. I think she feels so out of control with her life that she is desperately trying to control the things that she feels she can. She just doesn't realize she's shooting herself in the foot in the process. I second-guess myself everyday. I've forced the issue - made medications non-negotiable - only to end up back where we started. I've tried talking, explaining, reasoning to no avail. I really want her to understand that she needs to help herself, but I'm fooling myself. Because of her executive function disorders, she has zero insight. I want her to understand the why of it. Afterall, I can force the medication issue, but I can't force her to participate in therapy and it is a package deal. I thought if I could make her understand...I don't know what I thought. Bottom line is...she no longer has a choice. She's taking the medications come hell or high water, as my grandmother says. [/QUOTE]
