[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 332171, member: 6245"] I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how Little Bear is doing since my last post! I am keeping my fingers crossed, but Little Bear is doing extremely well since he started intuniv right before christmas. We went to his last appointment and talked a lot about him possibly having a diagnosis of high functioning autism along with something else. The school had "ruled" it out but they are now saying they havent ruled anything out since he has not been fitting the mold completely of a child that is just bi-polar. My gut says he has high functioning autism along with ADHD or a Mood Disorder. The intuniv has worked wonders and we can actually go out into the "outside" world again!! We tried to wean back the Celexa but had aggression again so we are keeping it a 2ml and since he is doing so well his Dr. thinks eventually he might not need the seroquel but she thinks he definitly needs the Depakote. My whole thinking is that if he is autistic with ADHD and not a Mood Disorder then we might be able just to eventually get to just having him on Celexa and Intuniv. His Dr. does not want to make anymore major changes however until he gets to the children's hospital which I hope is soon!! I got some bad news last week though, Little Bear's bio-dad carries the health ins. on him and now he no longer has ins through his job:anxious: I am hoping I can get him covered under our states medicaid because I can no way afford 4 medications a month for him. Without the medications he would probably be in the hospital because he can't function without them. [/QUOTE]
