[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 170121, member: 3184"] Medications have helped tremendously. Daytrana calms him just enough so that he might listen, and Lamictal keeps his frustration level lower, and keeps him from being so irritable and sensitive. What has helped more was my realization that medications cannot fix everything. That my son is different, will always be different and that is ok and it is not my fault. I have to repeat things several times to him and have to make sure I have his attention before I ask him to do something. I cannot parent him the way everyone else thinks I should, and I need to ignore the peanut gallery. Books have been a good resource also, just in my learning about the disorder. This site has been a huge help also. Knowledge is power, and the more we know about our children (though sometimes so little is known) the better. difficult child's psychiatrist once said that we were going to have to be extra good parents (or something like that) and man was he right. I am still not sure if I am there yet. [/QUOTE]
