[QUOTE="totoro, post: 99636, member: 3155"] Well Janna, I hope he finds some calm... I hope you all have a nice week. He could very be on sensory and stimulant overload, he gets the schedule and nice and comfy at the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) and then no matter how much schedule or structure and love you provide, it is still going to be, a bit stimulating and maybe put him on sensory overload. With the change in his medications, basically NO medications for the first time in how long??? Awesome... but it still has to be very weird for his whole being, you know. I would imagine, our kids our kind of dull, somewhat. The medications dull the sensory stuff. So they are not on overload all of the time. Now his little mind is free to experience all of these things without the medications getting in the way... good and bad. He needs to be retrained how to deal with transitions I would imagine, the fog has lifted. While this is hopefully all a great thing in many ways, it is most likely different and with new challenges. I know K now doesn't scream when a dog barks or a plane flies overhead, some of it is slow exposure, but I know some of it is the medications... I would imagine this is hard on you seeing and dealing with him so hyped up and no focus... remember this is all new to him as well. A new journey for both of you!!! [/QUOTE]
