[QUOTE="jal, post: 257917, member: 3477"] Shari - OMG! I felt like you were writing about my difficult child. Not to hijack your thread but a little of our story for comparison. difficult child was originally diagnosis'd as BiPolar (BP) and severe ADHD. We went along with that diagnosis for over 1yr. None of the medications we tried ever helped him a bit. I began to suspect he was AS. After psychiatrist would not consider AS we took on 2 new dr's that both concurred Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-Aspergers. My difficult child could not handle mainstream class so we opted to transfer to a therapeutic school. In main stream he could not focus, his writing was not where it should of been, let alone try to get him to do homework -ugh! He even struggled when he started the therapeutic school. Upon the AS diagnosis, the psychiatrist introduced a small amount of prozac. Unbelievably, we and the school noticed a difference in him in about 7-10 days. He stepped up and started learning. He was behind where he should have been when he started and now has caught up and exceeded. He even comes home and does his homework without being told to. During our last PPT (2 weeks ago), they showed us the 3 ring binder of his work. His writing has improved immensley, his reading is really coming along and his math skills have exploded. He is taking 100 math problem tests (timed) and completing it all and getting 100%. His spelling tests are all 100%. It is amazing! He has gained confidence. His behavior at home has improved, no more tantrums, no more angry all the time. We are enjoying him finally after 4+ years! This has just been something that has made a tremendous improvement in home and school life. I am in no way suggesting that this is the answer it's just what has finally worked for us. Things we have in place for him are: Therapeutic day school para (1 on 1) in school Occupational Therapist (OT) services in school daily group therapy at school individual therapy 1x week in school intensive in home therapy 2x a week Good luck to you. It can turn around. [/QUOTE]
