[QUOTE="jal, post: 262232, member: 3477"] JLady- My difficult child is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-Aspergers, mood dis not otherwise specified and supposedly ADHD (according to psychiatrist's that never listened to us re: ADHD). Although he presented as having ADHD too none of the stims worked for him - we trialed about 15 - they make him angry and beligerent and ODD. What we have found actually is what appeared to be ADHD was anxiety (thanks to the new psychiatrist) and we introduced prozac. After about 10 days we had a new child. One that was happy, mostly compliant and began to excel in school to the point where he could take a 100 problem math test timed (he is only 6 and would get a 100 on the test). A child whose writing went from all over the place to being in the lines and looking very good and to reading and liking it so much that he now tries to read everything. It may be possible that the stimulant is causing this for your difficult child. Mine would take a stimulant and on it destroy a classroom. Risperdal never worked for us either.
