[QUOTE="agee, post: 322979"] Pepperidge - you'd right - it's not the diagnosis we realy need, it's the behaviors we need treating. The description you have of the Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) kid is my son. No impulse control. No empathy. He'll say sorry but it is never genuine. He knows that's what he's supposed to say. So far no problems with math, but he's only in 1st grade so time will tell. He is actually very bright, which is one reason why it would be hard to diagnosis him Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). And oh MAN does he have the disrespect, and yes, I can tell it's from the impulse control. The words come out of his mouth without him thinking at all. Anything I say no to - and that happens a lot, since he also wants to do everything and anything inappropriate - I get called names. But at least he asks! That's a step in the right direction.:winking: ~~~~~~~~~~~ He went to sleep. I gave him melatonin, which will usually turn the switch. I will call his dr. this a.m. to see what he says about dropping the Intuniv totally (you have to amp it up, and he's on week 2). I'm thinking that I'll see if we can work with the medications I know do work - the imipramine and the Risperdal. Perhaps he can go up in dose. And next weekend we'll try a couple days with-o the Vyvanse, which I don't think is working any more. Then maybe over xmas break we'll look into Abilify. Or maybe we should take him off everything and see what happens then? I wonder it would be better if he were "clean" for his neuropsychologist appointment? A [/QUOTE]
