[QUOTE="Janna, post: 20158, member: 2737"] I'm not sure Smallworld. I don't know what cognitive dulling looks like. I see Dylan's inattentiveness here at home. He starts something, 15 minutes later, he's bored, moving on to the next thing. The teacher at school reports he has a really hard time focusing, staying on task, and he needs redirected alot. He did have that sleeping issue, I'm sure you remember. I guess maybe it was anxiety, but it kinda nodded off with the Abilify. There have been a few nights I've forgotten to give it to him, and he still goes to sleep okay, but not so many nights in a row. Just a night here and there. I don't know if Dylan's ever really had an anxiety problem, or if he's just unsure of himself. The teacher reports, in school, academic wise, Dylan seems to have an esteem problem. He doesn't think he can really do the work himself without help. Although, over time, it is getting better (and he's bringing homework home, too, now, and he's doing alot more grade appropriate work, and getting tons of high fives and good jobs for that, and it's helping with the esteem). The Ritalin is a good idea though. Thanks for reminding me of that. I wrote that down. I did mention the Focalin to the psychiatrist before. I don't recall why we didn't discuss it in detail, but he didn't want to. Maybe I'll have to bring that up again (like all psychiatrists, I'm sure he has his favorites, is probably all it is). I'd prefer this just be easy. Guess it's not happening that way. I was just hoping (wishful thinking) now that Dylan is doing so great, and he's really seemed to pick up on so many positive things, and he's rolling along with everything like he is so fantastically, this might work. My biggest concern right now is the weight. It's horrible [img]:frown:[/img] J [/QUOTE]
